Wilson Reading System (WRS) is the flagship program of Wilson Language Training® and the foundation of all other Wilson® programs. The Tier 3 Structured Literacy program is based on phonological-coding research and Orton-Gillingham principles.
By providing intensive WRS instruction with a highly skilled teacher in small groups or individually, reading and spelling success is achievable.
Based on more than three decades of data, WRS is designed for students in Grades 2–12 and adults with word-level deficits who are not making sufficient progress through their current intervention, have been unable to learn with other teaching strategies, or who require more intensive Structured Literacy instruction due to a language-based learning disability, such as dyslexia.
WRS supports college- and career-readiness standards by providing students who have a language-based learning disability with the foundational and language skills that are necessary to access grade-level text. This comprehensive program can follow students from grade to grade, as needed.
