My second-grade student’s reading level has improved greatly. I’m very impressed. He now volunteers to read aloud in a small group. He’s able to correct the wrong sound with minimal coaching from me.

I’m thankful for the Barton System. I knew he was struggling reader, but until now, I didn’t know how to help him.

For several years, I struggled to find the materials / system / program that would be easy to implement, not too cumbersome, yet contained all the elements I wanted. After attending eight days of intensive Orton-Gillingham training last year, I knew I wanted to use the OG approach. But because I had to gather materials from many different sources, it was very time consuming to implement.

With the Barton System, I have everything I need in just a few easy-to-use components.

But more importantly, it gets to the heart of reading, and how it should be taught. I feel the time I spend with my students is much more effective and productive. I love the Barton System!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

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.
