It's on them to figure that out with subs, and I would also consider making them aware you will be requesting service logs for the sessions with the new reading instruction. If they can't provide the services written in the IEP due to their staffing issues, then you can bring up compensatory services - perhaps during a ESY/summer school type program given the approaching end of the school year.
Have you been recording IEP meetings? It sounds like it may be past time to do so, especially if they aren't writing up the changes directly into the IEP during those meetings. That sounds super-shady to me. Ours always have the document open, and someone tasked with showing us exactly what was typed, getting copies before we leave, etc.
HUGE It is so hard to find qualified Sp Ed teachers, that I can't imagine they'll get this accomplished in any short order. But, like the wise PP posted, they should make up the time that she should have had (with the compensatory services) if they don't find someone.
