She has been in good hands as demonstrated by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/legacy.wilsonlanguage.com\/promising-practices-in-wisconsin\/\">school\u2019s recent recognition by the state<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0high literacy achievement growth with\u00a0special education students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As WRS lessons progressed, Sara&nbsp;observed&nbsp;Jessica\u2019s progress&nbsp;and increased sense of confidence. Sara&nbsp;also helped Jessica to learn about dyslexia and&nbsp;understand that&nbsp;her brain functions differently and can \u201cgrow\u201d with proper instruction.&nbsp;Jessica appreciates the rapport&nbsp;that has developed&nbsp;with her teacher, writing to her, \u201cYou are the best, Mrs. A.\u201d Jessica also has been strongly supported by her family who have taken an active role in her education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to her abilities in the classroom, Jessica shines in many other areas. Sara describes her as&nbsp;a talented artist with \u201ca love of animals and gentle soul.\u201d Jessica is also an accomplished&nbsp;equestrian trick rider&nbsp;and enjoys dancing &nbsp;and playing softball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sara and Jessica enthusiastically documented&nbsp;her progress through the Wilson Reading System. When Jessica completed each WRS Step, Sara took a picture of her proudly holding the corresponding WRS Student Reader in the classroom. &nbsp;They celebrated Jessica\u2019s&nbsp;graduation from WRS Step 12 with balloons and a photo showing&nbsp;her Acknowledgement of Completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They were kind enough to share a selection of the pictures&nbsp;with Wilson. It\u2019s inspiring&nbsp;to see the sense of accomplishment at each Step.
