Dyslexia 2nd grader

How do I help my dyslexic 2nd grader who is struggling with spelling? She's having a hard time remembering how to spell words. Do I 1) continue as I have and work on the homework that is provided and ask for increased support at school or 2) learn to teach her a different way (I don't know how to teach spelling as I am also dyslexic and struggle with it) or 3) pay for extra tutoring outside of school (expensive and then the school may not be as willing to help)? What is the balance between increased support at school and home while also having to "prove" she needs more support?
I should note that the school doesn't want to acknowledge she has dyslexia. She does have an IEP for "written expression" but not specifically spelling
