Informed Teachers Change Lives

Proven professional development for teachers of language and literacy.

Teachers who understand the science of reading can transform their instruction and ensure 95 percent of students learn to read. It’s true teachers are more essential to student success than any other aspect of schooling. They, not programs, teach students how to read. Yet a study of most teaching institutions found only 49 percent actually prepare teachers with all five essential components of literacy instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. *Additionally, the 2019 National Assessment of Educational Progress, NAEP, study found 66 percent of U.S. fourth grade students are not proficient readers. Reading requires multiple parts of the brain learning to work together. Teaching reading requires a deep understanding of the science behind how we learn to read, why we spell the way we do, or how phonemic awareness and phonics lead to comprehension. Without this, teachers are left feeling ill-prepared. That’s why LETRS ® bridges decades of evidenced-based research into classroom success.

Privacy Policy

Voyager Sopris Learning, Inc. Privacy Policy

This site provides you with access to the Voyager Sopris Data Management System. This system is an integral component of Voyager's curriculum products and provides valuable reporting, instructional recommendations, and other resources used by teachers and other instructional leaders in conjunction with Voyager's curriculum with the goal of improving student performance.

This statement describes the privacy and security practices Voyager Sopris employs for this site. We have adopted these practices to protect you, the students, and the school district, and to enable each of us to comply with applicable legal requirements. Use of this site requires district acceptance of the practices outlined in this statement.

Two types of personally identifiable information are used on this site: your personal data and student data .

Your Personal Data Collection : Voyager Sopris collects information from you as you use this site. For example, you must enter certain personally identifiable information, including your name, e-mail address, and phone number. We use this information to verify your identity and prevent unauthorized access to your account and to contact you in connection with your use of this site.

In addition to the information you provide, Voyager Sopris collects information about your use of this site through tracking, cookies, and log files, as described in our general Terms of Use statement.

Protection : Because you enter your personal data, you control its accuracy. If you discover that your personal data is inaccurate or if it changes, you may make corrections by notifying us at [email protected] or 800.547.6747. We will not share your personal data collected through this site with third persons without your consent. However, your personal data will be available to authorized users from your school district who have permission from the school district to access it. We will not use your personal data collected through this site for any purpose other than providing you with access to this site and the associated services. We will use the same security to protect your personal data that we use to protect student data collected through this site.

Student Data As you use this site, you will enter student data or interact with student data that has already been entered. Federal law (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, "FERPA") allows a school district to release student records to an organization that is "conducting studies for, or on behalf of, educational agencies or institutions for the purpose of developing, validating, or administering predictive tests... [or] improving instruction."

However, FERPA requires limitations on disclosure of those records and implementation of appropriate security measures to protect those records. To help your school district comply with FERPA, Voyager Sopris has adopted certain practices, and requires that educators using this site fulfill certain responsibilities to safeguard student data. The following statement explains our practices and your responsibilities regarding the student data you enter on this site.

Student Data Security and Confidentiality Statement Purposes of Data Entry : You control what student data is entered on this site. Student data entered on this site should be limited to information that is relevant to the legitimate educational purpose of improving student performance. We will not ask you to enter, and you are instructed not to enter, data about students that is not relevant to this legitimate educational purpose.

Therefore, only a minimum amount of personally identifiable student data required for the setup of the system is requested. We require student first name, student last name, and student identification number. Additional data, not specific to the student, is also required to complete system setup, including the teacher first and last name, class name, grade level, and school name. Student demographic data, for the purposes of optional disaggregated reporting, is requested separately from the initial setup data and is obtained only with written permission from your district.

Use, Disclosure, and Storage: We will use the student data to provide the services to your school district. We will not keep the student data after you or the school district instructs us to delete it. You may not disclose or otherwise use the student data entered on this site for any unauthorized purposes.

We will only disclose student data to authorized employees or representatives of the school district, and will not knowingly disclose the student data to any third person without express written authorization. When, at the request of the district, we acquire assessment or other information, including personally identifiable student data, from a third party source we treat that information with the same confidentiality and security safeguards as though it were provided directly by the district. Additional agreements may be required by the third party to authorize transmission of data to Voyager Sopris.

Your district may from time to time request that Voyager Sopris provide student data to third parties of its choosing. We will do so with written authorization, which acknowledges that Voyager Sopris is providing that data as your district's agent and that once the data is received by the third party, Voyager Sopris no longer has any control over the use or disposition of the data.

We may also use aggregated data in our research, product development, and marketing. That aggregated, non-personally identifiable data (e.g., summary or statistical data) may be shared with third parties. However, we do not use personally identifiable student data to market any products or services directly to students or their parents.

In the event that Voyager Sopris wishes, from time to time, to release aggregated data that identifies your school or school district by name, Voyager Sopris will enter into a separate agreement with you to authorize release and publication.

Data Quality : You are responsible for keeping the student data that you enter accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you recognize that student data is inaccurate, incomplete, or out-of-date, you are responsible for correcting it. If you experience problems making corrections to student data, please notify us at [email protected] or 800.547.6747 and we will assist you with making corrections.

Security Safeguards : We are committed to protecting student data against unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure. Protecting student data requires efforts from us and from you. We will implement reasonable and appropriate safeguards when collecting student data from you and when storing that student data in our database and you will observe our security safeguards and exercise reasonable caution when using this site.

• Only Voyager Sopris employees who are authorized to handle student data are able to access the Data Management System.
• A teacher will only be able to see data for his/her class.
• A Principal, Coach, or other authorized School User will be able to view all data at a given school.
• An authorized district-level employee, such as an Instructional Coordinator or Superintendent, will be able to see all data across the district.
• Each authorized school official is given a Userid and Password valid only for the duration of the academic year, including a summer program if applicable. You must safeguard your Userid and Password, and not permit any unauthorized access to student data entered or kept in the Voyager Sopris system.
• Upon written request by the district, Voyager Sopris will destroy any student data for districts who no longer participate in a Voyager Sopris reading program. Voyager Sopris will provide written verification that the data has been destroyed as requested.
• If a district has not used any Voyager Sopris product for a period of ten years, Voyager Sopris will provide written notice that the student data pertaining to their district will be destroyed, unless the district requests the records be kept. Upon destruction, Voyager Sopris will provide written verification that the data has been destroyed.
• Voyager Sopris uses industry standard server and network hardware and software to ensure that data is protected from unauthorized access or disclosure.

When you use this site, you consent to our privacy practices and agree to accept the responsibilities outlined in this statement.

Short-Term Tutoring Supports Learning Gains

Knowledge loss during the summer between school years is well documented. A research study in 2020 revealed the average student loses 17 percent to 34 percent of their learning during a summer break. Reading gaps based on income also increased during the summer, as middle-class students showed improved reading skills while lower-income students experienced loss.

There is also research suggesting any gap between learning periods is measurable and statistically significant. So, it’s likely that even short school breaks, such as holiday vacation time, will see some erosion in student knowledge. And lower-income students are more impacted by learning loss because they have access to fewer resources.

All students lost instruction time during the pandemic and schools have accelerated instruction to help students make gains. However, for students from lower incomes, the pandemic loss combined with summer loss and even learning loss during shorter school closures, has resulted in some students falling significantly behind their peers. There is an average achievement gap of three months between high- and low-income families. However, short-term tutoring with literacy interventions has the potential to reduce learning loss and narrow the achievement gap by keeping students engaged in learning during school breaks. 

Whether it’s a two-week break during the school year or a longer summer break, tutoring for a limited period can be very effective in maintaining knowledge, so teachers can have a shorter review period when school resumes and move on to new material faster.

Strategies for Short-Term Learning Opportunities

Many school districts currently provide summer learning activities, but short-term tutoring or targeted instruction can also help students retain knowledge and skills until school resumes. Short-term tutoring can supplement instruction through school breaks or even outside the normal school day in an after-school program. Tutoring is a proven strategy to respond to students’ individual needs and maintain their knowledge and skills and accelerate their learning.

The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) suggests these practices for targeted instruction outside regular school days:

• Use researched-based explicit reading instruction
• Select students through achievement data
• Choose effective teachers or tutors
• Identify the most essential content and train teachers to deliver that content
• Conduct periodic assessments
• Establish and maintain good communication with families
• Provide adequate time for instruction and practice
• Provide mentors or paraprofessionals to reinforce learning

Keeping students reading throughout school breaks helps them retain their reading progress. Students in grades 3–5 can lose an average of 20 percent of the progress they made during the school during the summer. When students are reading books that engage them during any school break, they develop stronger skills and become more confident and motivated readers.

Benefits of Short-Term Tutoring

During summer 2022, approximately 90 percent of school districts offered summer learning programs. Using the school breaks and after-school programs as supplemental instructional time has the advantage of not impacting the regular school day. 

Short-term tutoring:

• Helps students overcome challenges, achieve academic milestones, and become lifelong learners
• Provides individualized attention and targeted support
• Clarifies complex concepts
• Motivates and enhances student confidence

Whether short-term literacy tutoring is remediation or enrichment, it provides teachers an opportunity to reinforce student learning and offer individualized attention to maintain or grow literacy skills, so students are fully prepared for new learning when school resumes.

The oxygen balance of oligomer homologs of epoxy-4,4′-isopropylidenediphenol oligomers and of polymeric materials based on them was calculated. The use of oligomeric fire retardants in epoxy solid fuel elements of aerosol-generating means for firefighting was substantiated. Heat-curable oligoether phosphates were suggested for fabricating solid fuel elements with increased content of the dispersed phase in the fire-extinguishing aerosol.
