I’d like to thank you for the Barton System.

My son has always loved reading — when someone else was doing it. If he wasn’t listening to an audiobook, he was asking us to read to him. It gave him a great vocabulary (which made him good at guessing words), but he couldn’t read himself.

When I found the list of symptoms of dyslexia on your website, I just started crying because it described him exactly. We suddenly knew why this smart little boy who loved reading just couldn’t do it himself.

He’s doing so much better now. We homeschool, so he has to be tested every year. I chose the Peabody (PIAT) because the format was more relaxed (my son HATES timed activities, and gets stressed when he’s being tested). He’s nine, but got 95th percentile for reading recognition and comprehension. His spelling was 53rd percentile – right where he should be for his age.

Considering he was at preschool level about a year and a half ago, that’s a great result! Not that we needed the test to know he was doing better. 🙂
