Parents Call It A Miracle By Susan Barton
Parents and teachers call it a miracle.
Susan Barton loves hearing from Barton tutors who monitor progress using normed standardized tests, as Karyl does:
Dear Susan,
I have been using the Barton Reading & Spelling System for 16 years. The growth in mystudents' reading and spelling skills is amazing.
I use the Word Identification and Spelling Test (the WIST) to monitor progress.
Most of my students have scores in only the 1st to 5th percentile on their first day of tutoring.
I give the WIST again at the end of Level 4. Their reading and spelling scores then range from 45th to 55th percentile.
But I urge parents to continue the tutoring process because by the end of Level 8, their children’s reading and spelling scores jump to the 75th to 95th percentile — way above their peers.
Parents and teachers call it a miracle. But I know it is the Barton System that makes their success possible. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
