OXFORD,
Mass., May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Wilson
Language Training, the leading provider of supplemental literacy
education programs aligned to the Science of Reading, announced the
launch of its first-ever digital and student-facing product, FUN
HUB® Practice. Expanding on the legacy and effectiveness
of Wilson Language Training's hallmark program
– Fundations® – FUN HUB® Practice
provides educators with a complimentary way to engage and build a
child's foundational literacy skills.
Researchers and educators alike emphasize how practice and
consistency between language and procedure used in daily lessons
serve as the bedrock of mastering foundational literacy skills.
Tightly aligned to the Fundations® scope and sequence,
FUN HUB® Practice consists of interactive and engaging
activities in a dynamic online format. This allows students to
apply taught skills outside of the Fundations® lessons
and reinforce their decoding and encoding abilities.
"We know reading and writing are learned skills, so students
need opportunities to repeat and reinforce the key components of a
structured literacy approach," says Paul
Murphy, Chief Product Officer at Wilson Language Training.
"FUN HUB® Practice cumulatively builds on a student's
knowledge, seamlessly targeting both newly taught and previously
taught concepts on the journey toward literacy mastery."
FUN HUB® Practice also enables teachers to quickly
and easily assign activities across multiple units within a few
clicks, all while tracking student progress on a weekly basis.
Teachers are then able to identify which students need extra or
differentiated instruction ahead of subsequent
Fundations® lessons. And in the platform, administrators
are able to review cumulative performance data across grade levels
and classes to support district-wide literacy strategies. This
easy-to-use digital platform empowers teachers and administrators
to be more responsive to student needs, which, in turn, enhances
the learning experience.
Keri Dixon, CEO of Wilson
Language Training, says, "FUN HUB® Practice represents a
monumental leap forward in Wilson's journey from print-based
materials to pioneering as a digital innovator. As an
educator-first organization responsive to the ever-evolving
realities of the classroom, we are proud to have developed a
digital product grounded in decades of 'what works' to better equip
teachers for more meaningful and effective literacy
instruction."
In a moment when state policy shifts and investments are being
made across the country to ensure instructional practices align to
the Science of Reading, Wilson Language Training's proven
structured literacy approach reflected in Fundations®
and FUN HUB® Practice lays the groundwork for lifelong
literacy.
