I also use A Workbook for Dyslexica - Improve Reading & Writing Skills by Cheryl Orlassino.
As a teacher, we have to remember some students can not read well. But we can't let their reading disability determine what they can learn. Take the extra time to use books on cd, tapes, audio books, computer programs that read out loud. Find out out the way the student learns best and try to adapt your material for those students.
Eventually they will learn to read and write. It may take them longer but don't hold back their absorption of material. But do find out what makes your student excited and then offer books on that subject for them to practice reading.
Of course watching this TEDx talk also sums up what I am trying to say.
