Teacher Comments
“Irene Long has been extraordinarily effective with the progress that my students attained. Irene is a conscientious, caring and highly-skilled instructor. Irene’s in-depth knowledge, unique instructional techniques and talents are an asset to any school.”
Mrs. Agostinacchio, Fifth Grade Special Education Farmingdale, NY
“Working in a small group setting was extremely beneficial and enjoyable. Before we began the training Mrs. Long shared her videotapes with us: thus providing a good overview of the components of the typical Wilson lesson.” “Learning a new program with my colleagues provided me with a good support system as we turned to each other for help when needed.”
Gail Goodman, Reading Specialist Farmingdale, NY
“In each of these reading groups, the amount of independent reading time has increased, spelling and comprehension ability has improved as well as self- concept. Many of these students are beginning to think of themselves as ‘real readers’.“

Teacher Collegial Circle.
“I was provided with many creative, hands-on ideas to enhance, enrich and engage each student in the program. Irene shared every game she has in her storage closet. She provided us with templates to make our own games for our students.”
“Irene was an excellent instructor.”
“She answered every question and did so much extra work outside of the circle hours. I felt comfortable sharing problems and asking my questions in the group.”
“I was also introduced to the assessment used for the Wilson program. I learned how to administer the test and how to analyze the test results. Basically from this collegial circle I have learned all aspects of the Wilson Reading Program from assessments, to lessons, to resources. This collegial circle has been extremely helpful and beneficial during the school year.”
Suzanne Wilinski, Reading Specialist Farmingdale, NY
“When I watch your lessons I am fascinated.”
