Wilson Reading System
If you have an older child who still can’t decode confidently, finding a program designed for more mature learners is a huge relief. Wilson Reading System is a multisensory structured literacy program built specifically for grades 2–12 with significant reading difficulties, especially dyslexia. It uses a carefully ordered 12-step sequence, tapping, manipulatives, and intensive review to solidify word structure and spelling. Parents appreciate that it’s widely recognized in schools and backed by training pathways for specialists. It’s ideal when you can partner with a Wilson-certified tutor or school program for consistent, long-term intervention. The downside is that it’s not really a casual DIY curriculum—materials and training are pricey and time commitments are large—but for many families, the targeted approach is worth it. Pro tip: ask potential providers which Wilson step your child is on and how often progress is formally monitored.
