It’s a great accomplishment to get the struggling reader and speller up and going, but there’s more! Getting a student to read and spell is only the beginning of language skill. Dyslexic, SLD and other Language challenged students must go beyond beginner skills and develop reading fluency, speed, comprehension, vocabulary and writing skills.

Although parents will be successful using Wilson Language with their children, the complexity of the materials and additional information needed, demand that parents receive actual training in order to be able to effectively tutor their child. With the strong instruction from this one day seminar, parents will be fully equipped to move their child towards reading and spelling success.

• Improve reading speed and fluency.
• Get additional notes and information that allow for faster and greater student success!
• Discover materials that make writing easy, even if you can hardly spell!
• Discuss the pros and cons of specific programs, materials, and technology.
