[quote=Anonymous]So it sounds like your school is using an OK program -- Wilson Fundations is maybe a little light, but it's heart is in the right place.

My tier for interventions is as follows:

1. Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons, which is incredibly cheap and bog simple for the parent to implement, since it is entirely scripted. You really don't need to invest in a tutor, instead you  investing  ~20-30 min a day of time, at least five days a week. IMHO, if it doesn't click, then you are in for a rougher ride. Test for dyslexia, if you haven't already, and then turn to supplement with...

2. All About Reading, which is Orton Gillingham based. More expensive and slower-moving than TYCTR100EL. If AAR isn't working out, your child has a serious problem, and the next step is...

3. A reading tutor who uses OG methods.

If this doesn't work, your last ditch intervention is

4. Lindamood-Bell, which is *fantastically* expensive and wildly time consuming (Four hours a day, twenty hours a week!), but can work on profoundly dyslexic kids that are unreachable by anything else.[/quote]
