I can’t believe that I am almost 50 years old and I’ve never known any of this. I didn’t even know what a phoneme was until I looked it up in the dictionary.

When I started volunteering at the literacy program, I thought to myself, “This is something that I can do because I read really well.” Well, it didn’t take me long to figure out that doing and teaching are completely different.

Now I understand what the struggling kids are dealing with. I had my doubts at the beginning whether or not I could teach this way, but I’m getting more confident. I can’t tell you how impressed I am by your system.

The Barton System is extremely well organized, success oriented, and user friendly. For five months now, I’ve been using it to tutor a 10 year old child with dyslexia twice a week for an hour each session. Her reading skill had stagnated for years at the first grade level. This system has helped her tremendously. We’re making great progress, and her mother is delighted.

I have had a very rewarding experience being a Barton tutor these past few months. I am a retired primary school teacher, and I wanted to help out a friend who homeschooled three of her boys. I had no idea I would learn so much about teaching students with dyslexia and ADHD. You have opened my eyes and improved my teaching skills. Thank you.
