Wilson Learning System is aligned with the Orton-Gillingham approach (O-G). Wilson is one of the most highly-recommended programs for students with dyslexia. It is rooted in research and rated for effectiveness.
Wilson breaks the entire English language system into small, manageable units. Those units are taught systematically and sequentially so that reading and spelling concepts make sense and can build on one another logically.
Instruction goes at the child's pace. Every lesson is tailored for the individual student according to what they need each day.
Every lesson has many brief activities giving the child multiple opportunities to practice the skills in different ways. Lessons follow a consistent routine so students build confidence; they feel that they know what they are doing and how to do it. Lessons are fast-paced, so students stay focused and engaged.
Wilson focuses on foundational reading skills, primarily decoding and spelling. Meanwhile, it develops all of the "Big 5" components of reading: Phonological Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension.
All of our tutors are certified Wilson Dyslexia Practitioners, with over 200 hours of clinically supervised training.
In addition to their professional knowledge, Reading Rays tutors are selected for their experience with children and their ability to connect with each student and support them exactly where they are. Our tutors care!
