Barton Reading Program
Enhance Literacy with the Barton Reading Program
Designed for school-aged children and adults with reading challenges or disabilities such as dyslexia, the Barton Reading Program enhances reading, writing, and spelling skills through personalized one-on-one tutoring. This program utilizes the proven Orton-Gillingham method, which teaches the phonemic structure of the English language through a multi-sensory approach. By engaging visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic senses, we cater to learners who benefit from a holistic learning experience. The tailored, one-on-one format of the Barton Reading Program ensures that each participant progresses at their own pace, addressing their unique literacy needs effectively.
