My son has been doing the Barton System with me since the end of first grade. He just finished second grade.
I just got his STAR testing results, and his HUGE advances are remarkable after only one year of tutoring.
Reading . . . . . . . . from 54 to 84 %ile
Language Arts . . . from 50 to 99 %ile
Spelling . . . . . . . . from 32 to 52 %ile
But the scores don’t tell the whole story. Not only did he pass second grade with no problems, but (and this is what is most important to me), he is reading for pleasure.
He gets into bed at night with a chapter mystery book and reads until I tell him “lights out.”
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
