I have been purchasing the Barton Reading & Spelling System for my children, all of whom have various learning disabilities (including dyslexia) and attention issues.

I have used other O-G based programs to teach them, but so far, based on completion of Levels 1 and 2 with my children, I am finding this to be, by far, the most complete method I have ever used.

I am VERY enthusiastic about the results I am seeing already. As a homeschool mom for 11 years of 4 children with learning challenges, this is BY FAR the best program I have found.

Danny made the Honor Roll this year.
His most recent report card was straight-A’s!

In 5th grade we realized that our son was about to enter middle school, and yet was still functionally illiterate.

I began working on Level 1 with Danny, and for the first time, I could see that things were making sense to him.

His reversals of letters and numbers when writing went away. It was amazing.

A quantum leap in his spelling and reading comprehension took place.

We’ve been using the Barton System for 18 months. Danny made the Honor Roll this year. His most recent report card was straight-A’s!

The school principal was so impressed by Danny’s improvement that she ordered the Barton System.

Angelo is doing great with the Barton System. He is working with a Barton tutor in Pacifica. He’s finally reading for pleasure !!!!!

Now I have to make him put the book down and turn off the light at night. YAHOO !!!!

My son Kolton is 8 and in second grade. When I started tutoring him in October, the teacher said he was reading at the preprimer (or Kindergarten) level. Kolton has steadily improved.

It is now March. He is in the middle of Level 3. His teacher just retested him, and he is now reading on a 2nd grade independent level, and a 3rd grade instructional level. Isn’t that just awesome?
