A heavy jet was on Visual Approach to Runway 8R straight in on about 10 mile final. This aircraft was being worked by Final Center sector. Aircraft X was on the downwind for Runway 8L. I was conducting training on Final North as he turned Aircraft X south bound for the Visual Approach; [trainee] told Aircraft X that there was traffic on the south runway. When Aircraft X said field in sight [trainee] cleared him for the Visual Approach without giving him the 30 degree turn to final and the pilot flew past the final and got in the wake remnant of Aircraft Y.Next time I will ensure that my trainee understands the importance of the 30 degree turn to final to prevent this situation from happing again.
I90 TRACON Controller's trainee did not use proper procedures to ensure wake turbulence separation between successive arrivals.
