Frequently Asked Questions
The Wilson Reading System is a structured, phonics-based reading program designed to help students build strong foundational reading skills through explicit instruction in sound-symbol relationships and word structure. It's particularly effective for students who struggle with decoding, fluency, or reading comprehension. The program uses a systematic approach to teach students how to recognize letter patterns and apply them to read words accurately and with confidence.
Personalized Wilson Reading instruction targets your child's specific reading challenges, whether that's decoding multisyllabic words, building fluency, or developing comprehension strategies. With Staten Island's 12.2:1 average student-teacher ratio, getting one-on-one attention through tutoring ensures your child receives the focused practice they need to catch up and build reading confidence at their own pace.
Wilson Reading can benefit students from elementary through high school, depending on their individual reading level and needs. The program is designed to help struggling readers at any age who need explicit, systematic instruction in phonics and decoding. A tutor can assess your child's current reading level and determine whether Wilson Reading is the right approach for their specific challenges.
During the first session, a tutor will assess your child's current reading level, identify specific areas of difficulty (like decoding, fluency, or comprehension), and discuss your goals for improvement. They'll then explain how personalized Wilson Reading instruction can address those challenges and create a customized plan tailored to your child's learning style and pace.
Many students begin to show noticeable improvements in decoding and fluency within 4-6 weeks of consistent, personalized instruction, though the timeline varies based on the severity of reading challenges and frequency of sessions. Building strong reading habits is a gradual process, and continued practice and reinforcement help sustain and accelerate progress over time.
Most students benefit from 1-2 sessions per week to make consistent progress, though the ideal frequency depends on your child's specific needs, current reading level, and how much they practice between sessions. A tutor can recommend a schedule that balances intensive skill-building with time for your child to apply what they're learning in their regular reading.
Yes—personalized tutoring complements classroom instruction perfectly. A tutor can reinforce what your child is learning at school while also addressing specific gaps that may not be covered in the classroom. This coordinated approach helps your child make faster progress and feel more confident in their reading abilities across all settings.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have expertise in structured reading instruction and the Wilson Reading System. When you reach out, you can discuss your child's specific needs, and we'll match them with a tutor whose background and experience align with your goals for reading improvement.
