Wilson Reading Program

In our dyslexia class, we use the Wilson Reading Program:

Program Highlights

• • Offers a research-based program.

  • Provides a systematic and cumulative approach to teach total word structure for decoding and encoding.

  • Follows a ten-part lesson plan that addresses decoding, encoding,

  • oral reading fluency, and comprehension in a sensible and logical fashion.

  • Aids teachers by making all instruction multisensory and interactive.

  • Uses a unique “sound tapping” system.

  • Has an extensive collection of controlled and decodable text (word lists, sentences, stories) for students beyond the primary grades.

  • Provides two levels of vocabulary, making this program appropriate

  • for students in elementary, middle, and high school, as well as adults.

  • Uses criterion-based assessments built into the program to measure student progress and success.

  • Is a comprehensive program that can follow students from grade to grade.
