Wilson Just Words Training

Provides a curriculum for the study of word structure through the six syllable types in English and the most common Latin roots.  It is a highly explicit, multisensory decoding and spelling program for students in grades 4-12 and adults who do not require intensive intervention but do require explicit decoding and spelling instruction due to word level deficits. Those students with decoding or spelling scores in the 15th-50th percentile range.

Just Words is based on the research validated Wilson Reading System and moves  at an accelerated pace by focusing primarily on the concentrated study of word structure for reading and spelling.

• 45 minutes per class/5 days a week
• 14 units (each will take an average 2 weeks) plus 2 review weeks = plus 2 review weeks = 30 weeks

Just Words can also be presented as a three-day per week class but will be completed over 1 1/2 years.  In year one approximately 10 out of 14 units will be completed.

Assessments: At the beginning of each unit, student progress will be monitored using curriculum-based measurement and Unit Tests which are included at the end of each unit to determine mastery.
