Has anyone heard of the "reading 180" program for school children? I have a severely dyslexic child and do not

Answer 1

I had three of my 5th grade learning disabled students try it several years back. They all passed the End of grade tests for reading in our state. I would never have thought it.

LD students learn reading best with a multidisciplinary approach and Read 180, when taught correctly, is one of those.

So is someone that has been trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach. This is what I used and what my LD son used to develop strategies that continue to help him in college today.

Some advocate the Wilson program which is also multi-disciplinary.

As long as the teacher is well-versed in the method your child should do well with any multi-disciplinary approach.
