Credits: 1
This course provides participants with an overview of the Wilson Reading System (WRS) and serves as the prerequisite for WRS Level I Certification Training. This course examines the intensive intervention reading instruction necessary for students in grade two and above with
persistent and significant phonological-coding deficits. Participants learn about dyslexia and reading acquisition, appropriate student identification and placement, key components and principles of instruction, including the factors necessary for a high-quality program implementation. How to teach phonology, morphology, and orthography in an integrated, explicit, systematic, and multisensory way is demonstrated and practiced during the course. Participants explore the standard ten-part WRS Lesson Plan and practice planning and delivering a WRS Lesson while receiving modeling and feedback from a Wilson® Credentialed Trainer.
