The Wilson® Virtual Implementation Support (VIS) for the Fundations Level K program is a comprehensive web-based support that provides Level K teachers with access to a virtual collaborative community of peers where they can interact and learn from both colleagues and a Fundations Literacy Specialist. The program helps teachers develop the knowledge and skills required for successful Level K implementation and is designed for general education teachers in a Tier 1 setting in their initial year of Fundations implementation. (Fundations teachers looking to deepen their understanding of how to teach Fundations lessons efficiently would also benefit.)

The program includes live, interactive study sessions with a Literacy Specialist; curated content and links to resources on the Fundations Learning Community; access to the self-paced version of the Fundations Level K Launch Workshop; opportunities to collaborate with colleagues via a monitored discussion board to share successes and brainstorm solutions.
