Wilson Language Training, a provider of structured literacy programs, has partnered with private equity firm Alpine Investors. The partnership is intended to enhance Wilson’s program ‘Literacy for All’ and expand its reach to students and educators.
Wilson Language works to assist educators to improve instruction for students with dyslexia. The firm has trained nearly 300,000 educators and has certified over 25,000 teachers in the Wilson Reading System. The firm’s WRS is a certification program that educates teachers to implement dyslexia services.
“We are incredibly excited about the future of Wilson as we continue to expand our ability to reach more students, teachers and administrators in pursuit of our vision of achieving ‘Literacy for All,’” said Barbara Wilson, co-founder of Wilson Language Training.
“Barbara and Ed Wilson have built an exceptional company, and we look forward to helping them continue to advance their high-quality program pedagogy, professional learning and commitment to implementation science that have helped countless students learn to read and write over the last three decades,” said Dan Sanner, founding partner at Alpine Investors. “We have a deep respect for Wilson’s mission, vision and culture and are excited to partner together to further invest in their people, programming, professional learning, technology and COMPASS Plan delivery so that they can continue to increase the impact of their mission for students and educators.”
