Joshua is in the middle of Level 4, and his teacher is very impressed with his progress.

Joshua brought home an Amelia Bedelia book from the library. He has NEVER read a book on his own before. He sat down and read it, cover to cover (42 pages) all by himself this past week. We are so excited! This is wonderful progress!

A few weeks ago, he looked at me with a book in his hand and said, “Mom, I never thought I’d say this, but I think I like reading.”

He is a sponge, and so eager to learn. But up until now, all the programs we tried were like sand, bread crumbs or confetti. A sponge just won’t soak up those things. Your program is the liquid he’s been waiting for.

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?

My second grade-daughter hated school and often came home crying. She complained that the other kids laughed at her. I was concerned about my daughter’s skills and horrified that she hated school!

My daughter began the Barton Reading System in October. I am thrilled to report her progress. In just two months, her reading improved by 20 words per minute. She now loves school. She also loves to read. She still has more work ahead, but she loves “doing Barton.” Thank you for such a wonderful program.
