I'm very interested in Anne Murray's program at Drake in which she uses the
Wilson Reading System and volunteers. I am the coordinator of volunteers at
Portland Adult Education in Portland, Maine and we are considering using a
form of the Wilson system with our ESOL students who haven't learned to read
and write despite our best efforts. Has anyone else used this system with
ESOL adults, and /or has anything else worked with this population?
