EDUC 536 - Wilson Reading System® Intensive Instruction for the Nonresponsive Reader: (Steps 1-6) Online Course (Part I)
Credits: 3
This online course presents, in detail, the multisensory structured language (MSL) instruction that is required for teaching students in grade two and beyond with significant word-level deficits who are unresponsive to previous instruction (due to dyslexia and/or other characteristics that indicate the need for intensive, multisensory instruction). The Wilson Reading System (WRS) Intensive Instruction for the Nonresponsive Reader: (Steps 1-6) Online Course provides practical application of reading research, with particular emphasis on alphabetic knowledge, phonological/phonemic awareness, phonics (sound-symbol relationships), rapid naming skills/word retrieval, and spelling at the beginning levels of decoding and encoding. It also provides specific procedures
to teach the concepts presented in Steps 1-6 of the Wilson Reading System, including instruction on the following syllable types: closed, vowel-consonant-e, open, and final stable. The course includes additional topics on diagnostic teaching and differentiating instruction, program pacing, high frequency word instruction, vocabulary instruction, fluency instruction, dyslexia, typical reading development versus dyslexia, listening and reading comprehension strategies, use of differentiated texts, and handwriting.
Note: Successful completion of both this online course and the WRS Level I Steps 1-6 Practicum will result in WRS Level I Certification. Individuals who receive WRS Level I Certification earn the Wilson® Dyslexia Practitioner credential.
