Wilson Fluency® Public Workshops

Wilson Fluency/ Basic Workshop

This full-day workshop will look at the important aspects of explicit fluency instruction and reading practice to develop students’ skills in reading with ease and expression to understand connected text. WILSON Fluency / Basic materials will be explored.

WILSON Fluency / Basic is a supplemental fluency program appropriate for younger students with beginning reading skills or for older students who are not reading fluently due to decoding deficits. Although it specifically supplements Steps 1-3 of the Wilson Reading System®, it can be used with any reading curriculum that directly teaches closed syllable word structure.

At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Identify important aspects of fluency instruction for older students who struggle due to word-level deficits.
  • Learn how to conduct formalized fluency instruction with progressively more challenging text.
  • Learn to measure words correct per minute (WCPM) and assess prosody
  • Practice fluency lessons including assessing baseline reading, conducting practice with high frequency words, controlled word lists, phrases, phrased story, and reassess words with un-phrased passage.
  • Learn how to develop enjoyment, vocabulary, schema, auditory processing and oral language ability with enriched text and how to help students transfer emerging skills to non-controlled passages

Prerequisite: None
