Sound foundations is another set of curriculum that you might want to look in too. It is designed for dyslexics.

I will say from my own experience that the best thing for the fluency is simply to keep reading. I made it though highschool AP English even with the use of aidio books ( at that point from a group that made them for the blind and dyslexic). I would sit with the book and look at the written word while listening to the audio book, at that point the audio book was at least twice as fast as I could read it to my self. For books that were hard/ impocible to find in autio format ( the unabridged version of Docracy in America by Detocvill) I asked people (my parents, my Dh who I was doing at the time, my best friend, even my little brother who was in elementary school) to read it to me.

When I went off to collage I was still sounding every word out as I read it. I could do all the reading but it was exsausting and so so slow. In the spring semester of my sophomore year, I was 20 years old, I suddenly could look at words and not have to sound them out. The magical ability to look at the random lines in the page and have the sound of the word in my head! I have no explication on what I did or how it worked other than after keeping at the reading I suddenly had gotten to the point that most people get a in about 3rd grade.

It wasn't untill I was in just early 30's that I realized that my silent reading became faster than listening to an audio version, the speed jump that is expected to happen in 5-8 grade. I was in a book club and I checked out the audio book as well as the written version, going back to waht had worked in highschool, and I found that I could read a head of the audio book, and then when I was in position to just read and not lsiten ( while nurseing, or snuggeling girls to sleep) I realized I was moving though faster than when I was listening to it. I still don't read nearly as fast as my Dh or early bird, and I still prefer to listen to my books if given the option, but I am finally at a place in the past 7 years feel like I am actually functionally reading like most adults.
