“Professors were always willing to help me, mentor me, challenge me and push me to learn beyond what I could have imagined was possible. They value their students and want them to succeed. With faculty support I grew as a Christ-follower, as a person and as a teacher.”
Alyssa Hutchinson ’24
“The Wilson program provided me with the skills to reach students who have not previously been successful with reading. Because it uses a multi-sensory approach, I have seen much growth in my lower readers. The program provides a clear sequence of what to teach, explicit guidance on how to effectively teach each new concept, word lists, sentences and stories, so you don’t have to spend any time reinventing the wheel. This program has been very teacher-friendly and so effective!”
