[quote=Anonymous]You need an experienced orton-gillingham tutor for 4 one-hour sessions per week, it will cost & $75-125/ hour and is worth every penny.[/quote]

+1. Generally speaking the order of intervention is:

1. All About Reading at home.

2. An Orton-Gillingham trained tutor - and there are multiple reputable O-G influenced programs.

3. Take out another mortgage and try Lindamood-Bell. LB is *incredibly* expensive, extremely time-consuming, and should be regarded as a last ditch option for the profoundly dyslexic, for whom, incredibly, it can work.

A kid who is failing tests, but the school doesn't regard as failing badly enough to justify intervention, sounds like someone at step 1 or step 2 to me. [/quote]

All About Reading is based on Orton Gillingham but generally not as in depth and structured as kids with Dyslexia need.  Wilson Reading System and Barton Reading and Spelling are more appropriate. Phonographix and Lindamood Bell are much more expensive to access and teach on your own, btu are the other core interventions available.
