Wilson Fundations for K-3 is a phonological/phonemic awareness, phonics and spelling program for the general education classroom. Fundations is based upon the Wilson Reading System® principles and serves as a prevention program to help reduce reading and spelling failure. Each day there is a lesson that uses a variety of strategies to teach the students spelling patterns and rules. Some of these activities are dictation of sounds, words, trick words, and sentences; drill sounds; echo/find letters, words; letter formation; and a variety of other activities. During a lesson the students use sound cards, magnetic tile boards, dry erase boards, gel boards, sky writing, and workbooks to practice and master these skills. There will be a Unit Check Up and a Unit Test. However, this is not a traditional spelling test-the words are not given in advance. Students are expected to use the strategies they have been taught to spell the words. These are strategies that should carry over into the students reading and writing.
