I have so many questions about dyslexia and am wondering if there are websites focused only on that. All suggestions welcome.
Question 1 for me right now is whether I should do twice a week in person remediation with a skilled person who uses the Wilson curriculum or 3 times/week online with a well trained certified person who uses Sounds On Syllables. More frequency = better but online versus in person for a 3rd grader? Her dyslexia is “mild” in that she’s reading on grade level per I-ready with an extra time accommodation but she is a VERY slow reader. Looking for insights into the dilemma above as well as additional online places to ask questions. Thanks!! |

I am a tutor who has worked both in person and virtually. I would choose in person for dyslexia remediation at that age.
Good dyslexia remediation is multisensory and is easier to start in person. |

Down the road, at what age would the child transition to virtual? |

I teach Sounds in Syllables both in person and virtually. I must say I vastly prefer in person, but I’m not sure it results in more learning than virtual. I do all the same things and the kids seem to progress at the same rate.
You may still have the option of Sounds in Syllables in person three times a week - have you asked for an in person therapist? It depends on your location, of course. |

| In person. Have the tutor give you things to work on - in the days there is not tutoring. |

| SIS is a great program. It is also relatively slow paced and extremely detailed in its execution. Children with severe dyslexia may need an approach like that. For a child with mild dyslexia, I’d opt for a different Orton-Gillingham based intervention, like Wilson. |
