Wilson Training!
Wilson Reading System Introductory Workshop
Join Us for the Wilson Reading System 3-Day Introductory Workshop!
Participants learn about reading research, dyslexia, appropriate student identification and placement, program implementation, progress monitoring, scheduling, and creating a successful learning environment. Principles of language structure and how to teach language with direct, multisensory methods are demonstrated and practiced during the course. Participants explore the standard 10-part Wilson Lesson Plan and practice planning and delivering a lesson while receiving modeling and feedback from a Wilson® Credentialed Trainer during the course.
PLEASE NOTE: For individuals desiring Wilson Level 1 Certification, participants will need to complete the Level 1 Certification Training within 5 years following this introductory workshop. An opportunity to enroll & participate in the Level 1 Certification Training will be offered in Fall 2023 at the CAIU 15 for a very small cohort. Please see flyer for details.
Graduate credits through Fitchburg State University may be earned after completion of the course and application to FSU. For more information about earning graduate credits, please visit https://www.wilsonlanguage.com/professional-learning/graduate-credit/
