I found it...Thank you for your well written review. I found it very helpful to read that you were almost insulted when you realized how basic the beginning seemed. But then you admitted you had been wrong and that the basics presented in Level 1 were actually where things had started to go wrong. I have had a hard time explaining why this step is needed for older students. I plan to use your insightful words to help people understand that when our dyslexic students are missing even a few of the basic phonics, they will be stuck and never get these pieces by practice or osmosis. Teachers and Parents just don't think this can still be an issue when as you said the students are quite articulate. I have had teachers tell parents their student should not do the Barton program because they didn’t need any phonics help. Bravo and well stated!!Ms. Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16950731704419627501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421860490660077355.post-69461770843334586632017-09-11T10:50:16.643-07:002017-09-11T10:50:16.643-07:00Yes.

Just please make sure you and your child are well rested, not hungry, will not be interrupted, can do it in a quiet place, there are no distractions, and you do not have to rush through it. Calm, relaxed, focused and can hear all the sounds. That will make the whole thing much easier and more accurate.<br /><br />My daughter passed. My son did not. I started my daughter on Barton and my son on LiPS before moving him to the Barton program.<br /><br />Hope that helps.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01839720558357316548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421860490660077355.post-52878439130178734592017-09-10T09:12:55.064-07:002017-09-10T09:12:55.064-07:00Thank you for such an informative review.

If not, the local dyslexia center allows members to borrow the levels one at a time for $50 a month. Not a bad price at all, depending on how many times a week we choose to tutor.

It really doesn't work for a classroom. It does work well for one on one tutoring, or if the person implementing it is trained, it could be done with a really small group (no more than 3).<br /><br />I hope you get the system for one on one tutoring. That would be great! I know it has been used successfully in several schools. If they won't, you might consider trying to use it yourself. The resale value is nearly what you pay new so some people use a level, sell the level then use that money to buy the next level. Anyway, I wish you the best!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01839720558357316548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421860490660077355.post-33729577360558823502015-03-31T15:45:29.255-07:002015-03-31T15:45:29.255-07:00Thank you - what an informative review!

However, my 9 year old is really into gardening and would love it most. Your "down under" seasonal talk kind of threw me there for a minute, since here in Middle Tennessee (USA) it's stinking HOT and the gardens are winding down for the year. I know how you feel though.
