Evidence Based Literacy Instruction (EBLI) program.

What can you tell me about this program? How does it compare to other structured literacy programs like Sounds in Syllables?

EBLI is not a specific program but a body of research that supports explicit and systematic instruction. There are curriculum that districts use such as CKLA, Benchmark Advance, etc.

I think the PP is confusing EBLI with "Science of Reading". SOR is body of research. EBLI is a "speech to print" reading program. It was developed by a NICU nurse in Michigan. If you listened to the Sold a Story podcast, she features in Episode 2 (https://features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story/). Other speech-to-print programs are Phono-Graphix and Reading Simplified.

These programs are newer and less researched than more traditional structured literacy curricula (like UFLI, Wit & Wisdom, CKLA, or Really Great Reading) or Orton-Gillingham method dyslexia intervention programs (like Wilson, Barton, Lindamood Bell, or Sounds in Syllables). Their approach is meant to be faster, more intuitive, and to cut out some of the memorization built into OG-method programs. Some SOR proponents are sold on the approach. Others think it's too early to judge.

Sounds in Syllables is a very comprehensive program. It's unique among OG-method programs for how much work is done with students on spelling (speech-to-print).
