Barton tutoring, built around the student.

One-to-one Barton tutoring uses explicit, multisensory instruction in a careful sequence to build reading and spelling skills.

Barton Tutoring

Individual lessons using the Barton Reading & Spelling System, with explicit, multisensory instruction and each new skill building on what the student has already mastered.

Getting started

A careful fit, then a clear sequence.

Barton begins with screening to check whether a student has the auditory skills needed to use the system successfully. A formal dyslexia diagnosis is not required.

The Barton system recommends at least two hours of one-to-one tutoring each week, year-round, with sessions no longer than one hour. Skills are taught explicitly and practiced until they are secure before the next step is introduced.

Wondering whether Barton fits?

Tell us what your student finds difficult about reading or spelling, along with any support they have already received.
