WRS®Introductory Workshop / Applied Methods

This 15-hour Applied Methods Workshop provides the practice and guidance needed to effectively begin implementing the Wilson Reading System in our Intervention Model setting. The Intervention Model targets students beyond grade 3 who are reading or spelling below grade level and is implemented in small groups and reading classes in the general education classroom, after-school and volunteer programs, literacy and adult education settings.

This 15-hour workshop presents multisensory structured language principles and techniques of the WRS program. It provides hands-on and practical training to teachers implementing the WRS Intervention Model. The training includes:

  • Reading research
  • 10 Critical Points of the Wilson Reading System
  • Principles of language structure
  • Teaching with direct, multisensory methods
  • Program implementation
  • Group lesson instruction
  • Blocks 1, 2, and 3 of the WRS Lesson Plan – modeling and practice
  • Student placement
  • Scheduling
  • Keys for success and pacing
  • Progress monitoring
  • Practice using Wilson Assessment for Decoding and Encoding (WADE)
