Wilson, Fundations, and Structured Literacy Programs
Wilson Reading System & Wilson Programs
The Wilson Reading System is a structured literacy system grounded in the Orton-Gillingham approach approach and designed for students with dyslexia and related reading challenges, as well as adolescents and adults with language-based learning disabilities. Brooklyn Letters connects families with independent providers who deliver Wilson-based instruction to neurodivergent learners throughout the NYC metro area—including Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, Long Island, the Bronx, New Jersey, Connecticut, Westchester, Philadelphia, Martha’s Vineyard, and the Hamptons.
Independent tutors also specialize in supporting students with ADHD, autism, and other learning differences and learning disabilities. The Wilson Reading System helps students build structure, accuracy, and confidence in reading from elementary school through high school. Our tutors also provide instruction using Wilson programs, including Fundations, for younger learners in grades K–3.
Many tutors have completed professional learning, a Wilson introductory course, and advanced training, including facilitator certification and ongoing Fundations workshops and Words Workshops.
Several educators we work with are trained Wilson Dyslexia Practitioners, ensuring instruction aligns with best practices and supports measurable student progress.
Like other Orton-Gillingham–based programs, WRS follows a multisensory instructional approach. Instruction is direct, explicit, and systematic, teaching the structure of the English language in a clear sequence. Students use visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile modalities to strengthen connections between sounds and written words. Unlike programs that rely heavily on visual guessing strategies, WRS emphasizes decoding through structured practice using concrete materials rather than picture cues. Learn more about what structured literacy is and why it is essential for struggling readers.
In-Person & Remote Evaluations for Reading Students
- In-person evaluations
- Remote evaluations
Each student begins with a comprehensive assessment to determine skill level and guide complete lessons aligned with the Wilson scope and sequence.
How the Wilson Reading System Works
Multisensory Reading Instruction for Students
Wilson instruction is direct, explicit, and systematic. Students learn through visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile methods—engaging sight, sound, movement, and touch.
One hallmark technique is sound-tapping, where students tap each phoneme using their fingers and thumb to segment and blend sounds accurately. Learn more about Wilson and Orton-Gillingham reading programs and how these multisensory approaches support reading success.
Lessons systematically address:
- Letter–sound correspondence
- Syllable types
- Word structure
- Spelling
- Fluency
- Reading comprehension
This approach strengthens accuracy, confidence, and independence in reading.

Structured Reading Skills Development
The Wilson Reading System builds skills incrementally in a clearly defined order. According to Wilson Language Training, students receive instruction across the following areas:

- Vocabulary development
- Sentence-level reading accuracy and expression
- Listening comprehension
- Narrative and informational text comprehension

- Self-monitoring for comprehension
The program includes 12 structured steps and typically spans two to three years, depending on individual needs.
