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 (indicators, misconceptions, neurobiological aspects, and prevalence), typical versus atypical reading acquisition, appropriate student identification and placement, and key components and principles of instruction, including the factors necessary for high-quality program implementation. How to teach phonology (including phonemic awareness), 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, delivering, and individualizing a WRS Lesson while receiving modeling and feedback from a Wilson Credentialed Trainer.

Wilson Fundations® is a multisensory and systematic phonics, spelling, and handwriting program that benefits students in Kindergarten through third grade with a solid foundation for reading and spelling. Fundations provides for daily explicit and systematic instruction in areas necessary in effective reading, including phonological and phonemic awareness, phonics, word and syllable study, vocabulary, sight word instruction, fluency, and word and sentence writing practice. Critical thinking, speaking and listening skills are practiced/modeled during regular story time activities. The workshop will provide teachers with an overview of program principles and guidelines for implementation.

Fundations Level K Launch Workshop- Introduces instructional techniques within phonological awareness and alphabetic principle. Kindergarten teachers will learn to use Fundations with a wide variety of text experiences, as well as expose students to poetry, narrative and informational text.

Fundations Level 1 Reinforces the basic skills that were learned in Kindergarten and progresses further into the study of word structure while combining Fundations with a wide variety of text experiences.

Fundations Level 2 reinforces the skills taught in Level 1. In addition to learning more complex word structures for decoding and encoding, Level 2 students also work on fluency, vocabulary and comprehension skills.

The WRS Level I Certification program is designed to prepare teachers to effectively implement Steps 1-6 of the Wilson Reading System with students reading and spelling below grade level and those diagnosed with language based learning disabilities. Participants will demonstrate mastery of the Wilson Reading System or WRS lesson plan, including multi-sensory techniques and effective strategies in a 1:1 setting. Certification provides extensive professional learning and support enabling teachers to effectively implement the program with fidelity. Certification includes approximately 90 hours of online instruction, a 65-lesson practicum that includes demonstrations, five observations, and feedback from a Wilson Credentialed Trainer.

This path to Wilson Reading System (WRS) Level I Certification involves online coursework and live, web practicum observations with a Wilson Credentialed Trainer. Participants should be comfortable with the use of computers.

Prerequisites
Participants must have a Bachelor's degree in Education or a related field and have completed the WRS Introductory Course within the last 5 years. Participants will need to administer the WIST test kit for pre/post-testing practicum student requirements and an additional standardized normed reading test with subtest that compare word attack to comprehension skills. It is highly recommended that you have a practicum student in mind who appears to fit the selection criteria.

Course Objectives
-Define dyslexia and understand its prevalence and impact on the acquisition of reading skills and cognitive processes
-Explain the process of identifying students with a language-based learning disability, such as dyslexia, or other characteristics that indicate the need for intensive, multisensory instruction with the WRS.
-Understand the Response to Intervention (RTI) model and how to implement it.
-Demonstrate understanding of the WRS Principles of Instruction: direct, explicit, structured, sequential, integrated, multisensory, synthetic, analytical, diagnostic, prescriptive, mastery/automaticity, cumulative, metacognitive, and emotionally sound.
-Identify the components and procedures for Lesson Block 1 (word study/foundational reading skills), Lesson Block 2 (spelling/foundational writing skills), and Lesson Block 3 (fluency/comprehension) of the WRS Lesson Plan.
-Practice and prepare a ten-part WRS Lesson Plan.
