Last year, when we applied for California Distinguished School Recognition Award, we demonstrated to the evaluating team how we use your tutoring program as one of our signature practices.

We received this high honor with many thanks to your fabulous program.

The evaluating team suggested integrating some of the procedures and spelling rules into the classroom because they would be beneficial to all students. So with the support and approval of our administrators, we opened up a summer workshop and had 16 teachers complete training on Levels 1 through 4.

The teachers who attended are very excited about piloting rules from the Barton Reading and Spelling System in their classrooms.
