Find out specifics about the Wilson material that will be offered during the school day, and then ask ASDEC what they think.
OP Here: I know ASDEC prefers to not mix things. But it is what it is, I am not going to remove intervention services from my child’s IEP.

Find a provider who can offer a speech to print (rather than print to speech) program. I recommend Spell Links.

Sounds in Syllables is a great program for moderate-to-severe dyslexia. For a child like yours, the pacing is going to be slow and reading focused, and it will take at least two years to progress through the program.

I have a fifth grader who is reading at grade level, but at a slower pace. My child scored “advanced” on the fourth grade SOL, but still struggles significantly with spelling.
At school, the Wilson program is being used. Outside of school, we have the option to work with a CALT who uses the Sounds in Syllables program. The CALT explained that my child would need to start from the very beginning of that program, but could likely move through it quickly.
If you were in my situation, would you:
Do after-school tutoring with a Wilson-certified teacher to supplement what is already being done at school, or
Start over with the Sounds in Syllables program?
Which program tends to be stronger for addressing spelling? For context, my child does not need support with handwriting (it’s beautiful!) — the primary concern is spelling.
