In my district, special ed teachers use Wilson Reading, which is a tactile phonics program, coupled with other components in a reading program. IF THE PROGRAM IS FOLLOWED RELIGIOUSLY (not just pieces of it, or skipping over parts), there's been a lot of success with grade 2-4 children. Some other teachers claim to teach Wilson, but they only use the "tapping" part, which involves students touching their fingers to their thumb for each "sound" they hear, then blending these sounds into words. One special ed teacher used Orton Gillingham, which also used body movements in conjunction with sounds. She used this with kdg & 1st graders, but she has since left the district, so I don't know her thoughts on its success.
