Prioritize direct reading instruction first. Then choose content subjects that do not punish the student for still-developing reading fluency.
Before purchasing, read samples, check placement guidance, and compare the program against your parent bandwidth. The best curriculum is the one you can actually use consistently.
FAQ
What curriculum is best for dyslexia?
Structured literacy programs such as All About Reading and All About Spelling are common starting points because they are explicit, sequential, and multisensory.
Should dyslexic students use grade-level history and science?
Often yes, with audiobooks, read-alouds, narration, or oral discussion so content learning does not wait on reading fluency.
