[quote=Anonymous]“Science of reading” is multi sensory learning to read if your kid needs that. (Orton gillingham, Wilson, Lindamood bell all use forms of multi sensory reading learning). There’s not then a difference for different subjects like science or history etc). Basically you remediate the reading to get to as fluent you can as young as passable as an ideal. Then you are switching usually in school by later elementary for all kids from “learning to read” to “reading to learn”. My DC still needed reading remission through 6th.and it’s not like they’re ever going to have the easiest time reading. 
Many kids with dyslexia will always read at a less fast pace and have some things they may trip them up even if pretty well remediated. The accommodations for other subjects then are things like anything you can possibly listen to on audio, longer time for assignments and particularly tests, getting notes from teachers is possible to reinforce. 
There’s nothing that will equalize school for kids with dyslexia with the traditional way of teaching and expectations- but it’s just finding those accommodations you can that can try to help. 
Check out understood.org for other things to ask for in IEPs and 504s. 
DC is now in high school and does read at less fast pace (notice not to use “slow” because schools think you mean comprehension then!)
And stumbles on some reading things despite having been through tons of OG and hitting “OG-3). And will always likely have some reading lags - but other gifts. 
But basically the IEP is for services for OG or learning to read. But then you go to a 504 for the reading to learn phase. 
Be thankful your school cares and knows the science of reading at all. We had to do all real support that helped outside of school and at our cost. [/quote]
