[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure it depends on the intensity of dyslexia and when instruction starts, but in your general experience, does a kid with dyslexia need more intensive intervention than a school-wide program that is informed by the Science of Reading?

The Science of Reading seems to be a general concept encompassing phonics-based instruction and the type of instruction that generally benefits dyslexic kids as well as others, but there are a bunch of different Science of Reading curricula out there, and I'm sure they each vary.

We will be doing some out-of-school tutoring with an OG tutor, but within school, do we need to push for more intervention than a Science of Reading approach? The school district uses Science of Reading and seems proud of it, but I'm not clear whether my dyslexic kid will get what he needs with that. Is it more about the level of intervention needed (i.e. more intense one-on-one) and less about needing a different approach, or is he likely to need some kind of specialized approach beyond what a reading interventionist would normally offer? They are dragging their feet about an IEP and talking a lot about the Science of Reading, so I'm trying to understand if an IEP would just be more of the same instruction or would really unlock some different kind of instruction.[/quote]

My daughter has dyslexia.

Dyslexic kids need as much OG tutoring and instruction as possible, both in a group and 1:1.[/quote]
