The University of Utah Reading Clinic's
Wilson Reading System® (WRS) Level I Policies

WRS Level I Certification Requirements:

  • Attend a 3-day WRS Introductory Course within the last 5 years.
  • Submit scholarship differential ($375) if educator attended a WRS Introductory Course somewhere other than the UURC.
  • Submit WRS Level I / UURC Scholarship Intent form.
  • Submit AOCE course fee ($350) and form.
  • Participants MUST complete 5 out of the 5 observations.
  • Participants MUST attend 3 out of the 4 coaching sessions.
  • Participants MUST attend 4 out of the 5 implementation meetings.

**If a participant fails to meet any requirement, his or her scholarship may be revoked.

Observations:

If an observation must be rescheduled, the trainer may elect to arrange a live observation or accept a videotape or conduct a web-based observation (web-based observations require a flexible neck document camera). Make-up observations must be completed within two weeks of the original observation date. If the missed observation does not take place within the two week window, no subsequent re-scheduling will be allowed. Subsequent missed observations constitute grounds for revocation of scholarship.

Participants are encouraged to complete all observations by the end of May; however, observations may be scheduled during the summer if necessary. Participants who do not complete their Level I certification within the 12 month period may make a request for an extension through their WRS Level I trainer.

**The UURC reserves the right to charge participants fees for any missed, re-scheduled, or extra observations.

Participants who drop:

  • If a participant withdraws from a WRS Level I practicum, and it is too late for the UURC to receive a refund of registration fees from Wilson Language Training®, the participant may reapply for the following year. If the participant is re-admitted, he or she may not receive a scholarship, but rather, may incur full tuition costs.
  • If a participant withdraws from a WRS Level I practicum, and the UURC is able to receive a refund of registration fees from Wilson Language Training®, the participant may reapply for another scholarship for the following year.
