The Barton Reading and Spelling System is an Orton-Gillingham influenced language program that is designed to be multi-sensory, direct, explicit, structured, and sequential.
Someone with dyslexia can be mildly dyslexic, profoundly dyslexic, or anywhere in between. That is why it is vitally important to tutor intensely one-on-one with a minimum of two sessions per week with a scientifically based Orton-Gillingham program.
Remote Tutoring
Our students utilize remote tutoring
Remote tutoring is a great option for one on one tutoring with an added benefit of saving you time. No driving back and forth to tutoring and then waiting an hour while the tutoring session is going on. With remote tutoring, the tutoring session can be done from the comfort of your own home.
Another advantage is that even when you live out of state or country, are out of town for vacation, visiting friends and family, or feeling a little under the weather, tutoring doesn’t have to stop. This greatly adds to the consistency and intensity of tutoring to help the student with their long term memory of what they are being taught and the completion all the levels sooner.
