I’d love to share the success of my two students. I began tutoring each of them twice a week when the were in first grade. They are now in third grade and are receiving all A’s and B’s.

One is reading at grade level, while the other is actually reading a year above grade level.

They are so excited and proud that no one can tell they have dyslexia.

Their parents are tremendous supporters of this program because they see the fabulous growth in their children.

I love being a private tutor.

Next week, I’ll be finishing Level 8 with an 18-year-old student who has been tutored every day. She is the most motivated student I have ever had. She wanted to make as much progress as possible before she moved out of the area.

When we started six months ago, she did not know most of the vowel sounds, nor the digraph or unit sounds.

She can how read and spell five- and six-syllable words, flawlessly, by sounding out. It has been a wonderful six months for both of us.

I love this work !!!!

The first 2 weeks of 3rd grade the lightbulb went off for me. My daughter was never going to magically “catch up” developmentally. After about 10,000 flash cards, she was still spelling “of ” as “uv” and becoming depressed.

Thanks to a great friend who immediately turned me on to Barton and an amazing Barton tutor, she is now a thriving and school-loving 6th grader.

Still reads slowly, but loves to read challenging books and has great comprehension.

There is hope, and I am so very grateful to Susan Barton.
