Frequently Asked Questions
The Wilson Reading System is a structured literacy program designed to help students with dyslexia and other reading difficulties develop strong decoding and phonics skills. It uses a systematic, multi-sensory approach that teaches students how to recognize letter patterns, blend sounds, and build fluency—skills that form the foundation for confident reading and comprehension.
Wilson Reading can benefit students from upper elementary through high school, depending on their reading level and needs. It's particularly effective for students who haven't responded well to traditional reading instruction or who have been identified with dyslexia or reading disabilities. A tutor can assess your student's current skills and determine if Wilson Reading is the right fit.
Most students begin noticing progress in decoding accuracy and fluency within 4-8 weeks of consistent, personalized instruction. However, the timeline depends on the severity of the reading difficulty and how frequently your student receives tutoring. Regular practice between sessions accelerates results, and many students experience significant gains in confidence alongside measurable reading improvements.
During the initial session, a tutor will assess your student's current reading level, identify specific challenges with phonics or decoding, and discuss learning goals. This diagnostic approach helps the tutor create a customized plan using Wilson Reading techniques tailored to your student's needs, ensuring every session builds on their strengths.
Consistent practice between sessions is crucial for building automaticity and reinforcing the phonics patterns your student learns. Tutors typically provide guided practice activities and reading assignments that take 15-30 minutes, and this repetition helps cement skills much faster than tutoring alone. Your student's tutor can show you how to support practice at home in a way that feels manageable.
Look for tutors who have received formal training in the Wilson Reading System and ideally hold Wilson Reading certification. Experience working with students who have dyslexia or reading disabilities is also valuable. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors in Phoenix who have the expertise to deliver structured literacy instruction effectively.
Wilson Reading is a specialized, evidence-based program with a specific sequence and methodology—it's not the same as general reading support or comprehension help. It focuses intensively on the phonetic foundation that struggling readers need, using structured lessons and multi-sensory techniques. This targeted approach is particularly effective for students with dyslexia or significant decoding gaps.
Varsity Tutors connects Phoenix families with tutors trained in the Wilson Reading System. Simply let us know your student's needs and reading level, and we'll match you with a qualified tutor who can provide personalized instruction. Getting started is easy—reach out today to discuss your student's specific challenges and goals.
