[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I’m chiming in as I also have a rising third grader with dyslexia, diagnosed this past June.  No dysgraphia.

He’s made significant gains in the past month using the Phono-Graphix approach; there are others (EBLI, Reading Simplifed) based on it that also have very strong evidence.  He went three times/week for three weeks, after lower intensity earlier this year.  We also did P-G based exercises at home on the days he didn’t go for tutoring.

Despite the widespread praise for Orton-Gillingham, the method actually has middling empirical support.  I’m a psychologist who has also conducted educational research; I read through the literature carefully when looking into interventions for my DS.

P-G isn’t a panacea, but it’s outstanding for building phonemic awareness and foundational skills, and usually fairly quickly.  Kids benefit from structured interventions, the younger the better, and with sufficient intensity to make a difference.  Twice a week isn’t going to cut it.  Good luck.[/quote]what about other forms of dyslexia? My DC has more than just phonemic issues. [/quote]
