Why Structured Literacy?

Reading difficulties are language-based, not effort-based. Structured literacy is explicit, systematic, and cumulative — the approach with the strongest research evidence for students with dyslexia. Wilson® training is widely regarded as one of the most rigorous structured-literacy certifications available.

What is Structured Literacy? An explicit, systematic, evidence-based approach to teaching reading and spelling.

Differences in Brain Function

Research shows that typical readers and dyslexic readers activate different regions of the brain when reading. Understanding these neurological differences is foundational to providing effective, evidence-based intervention.
