Question 1

How do I know if my child needs Barton or Foundations in Sounds?

Accepted Answer

If a child doesn’t pass the Barton student screening, they begin with Foundations in Sounds until they’re ready for Barton. This ensures success and avoids frustration.

Question 2

How long does it take to complete Barton?

Accepted Answer

Barton is not a quick fix. The program is designed to be completed in its entirety across 10 levels, with progress depending on the student’s pace and consistency.

Question 3

How is Orton-Gillingham different from regular reading support?

Accepted Answer

OG is explicit, structured, and multisensory — unlike typical classroom instruction. It ensures students learn in a way that sticks, especially those with dyslexia.

Question 4

Will this help if my child doesn’t have dyslexia but struggles with reading?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Barton and OG-based instruction benefit any student struggling with reading or spelling, not only those with dyslexia.

Question 5

How soon will I see progress?

Accepted Answer

Parents often notice changes in confidence and willingness to read within a few weeks. Academic growth builds steadily with consistent sessions.
