Just Words Implementation
Just Words is designed to be implemented as a 5 day per week class in a year-long curriculum.
- 5 classes per week
- 45 minutes per class
- 14 units (each will take an average of 2 weeks) plus 2 bonus weeks = total of 30 weeks
The curriculum can also be presented as a three-day per week class but will then be completed over 1 ½ years.
Just Words can be delivered in classes of up to 15 students.
The Just Words and the Wilson Reading System provide a multi-tiered system of support for students in grades 4-12. Just Words provides targeted intervention for students with word-level deficits in the 15th-50th percentile, and WRS provides a more intensive and comprehensive intervention.
Materials for Implementation
Each teacher will need a Just Words Teacher’s Kit, and each student will need their own durable and consumable materials.
- For the initial implementation year, teacher and student durable and consumable materials are required for purchase.
- Subsequent years of implementation, only student consumables are required for purchase.
The Intervention Learning Community (ILC) provides additional materials including printable resources and Just Words InterActivities, an interactive whiteboard application. A 12-month ILC membership is included with purchase of the Just Words Instructor’s Manual. Annual renewal fee is only $25.00.
