[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know what Wilson’s Fundations is. But what about Wilson Reading and Wit and Wisdom? Do these curriculums complement each other or do schools have to pick one or the other?[/quote] There are two components to reading: the first is decoding. Can you look at the words, know how to read them based on letter sounds and phonemic awareness. Can you read these words with fluency and accuracy. The second half of reading is comprehension: can you make MEANING of what you read *as you decode*? Wit and Wisdom deals more with teaching explicit skills to aid with comprehension. Fundations is focused on decoding and fluency first. It’s teaching kids the how to read; W&W comes later to teach them to read for comprehension and meaning and purpose. [/quote]
