Kanin Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Is anyone using the Wilson reading program, 4th edition? The website says they've made significant changes to steps 1-6, with steps 7-12 coming in 2019. https://www.wilsonlanguage.com/programs/wilson-reading-system/4th-edition/ I'm wondering if they kept all the things that made me giggle... words like "bosom" and things that were kinda inappropriate for young kids, but that entertained me as the teacher ?

PeterPan Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I have no clue, but if that word was in there then it sounds like an update is in order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathermomster Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I believe Wilson was initially tested with prisoners. I recall DS reading something about cops, a get away van, and larceny in one of his lessons; of course, that was years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a whole bunch more than that, but that one stuck in my mind the most ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although my school (sadly) doesn't use Wilson for everyone, we have all of the workbooks and teacher manuals, so some people use the materials. I really love the whole Wilson program, how easy it is to track, how simple the materials are.... but you definitely have to preview the sentences before allowing a kid to go ahead and read ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
