My Daughter Found Her Wings
by Susan Barton

Susan Barton loves hearing from parents about the impact Barton tutoring has had on their child, as this parent shared:

This is my daughter – today.

Three years ago, her confidence was basically nothing. She didn’t feel comfortable getting up in front of others, and her reading and writing were just terrible.

We started her on the Barton System in the summer of 2020.

Her confidence has improved so much, she decided to try out theatre last year – even though that meant reading lines in front of others.

This winter she was cast as Annie at a theatre near us. I wanted to share this photo because it almost speaks of her journey. She went from lost, defeated, and discouraged to determined, hopeful, and thriving.

Thank you for making this curriculum. 

It has helped my daughter find her wings.

Due to the rising costs of materials and maintaining the quality of our unlimited tutor support, we must increase the price of the Barton Reading & Spelling System, effective April 15, 2023.

If you were planning to order levels, you might want to place your order before April 15 – so you can get levels at our current price.
