When I looked at the cost of purchasing the Barton System, I thought it was a little expensive — until I compared it to the cost of spending two summers driving to the Slingerland training and paying their training fees, and then paying their materials fee.

Your program is very affordable when you consider that.

As a volunteer tutor, I particularly appreciate the fully scripted lesson plans. The Barton System books give me the words I need to explain the reading and spelling rules, and they remind me to encourage and praise my students. Most important, the program works! I have seen dramatic improvements in the reading and spelling skills of all the students I tutor.

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.
