NCJessieRN Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I'm looking for any reviews. About a month ago we started level 1 of Barton Reading program but I saw someone on another group mention this program as being similar to Barton?

houseofkids&pets Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I wanted to give your post a bump since I recently asked this question on another forum. My ds8 is also just finishing Barton Level 1. I was looking into Reading Horizons/Discover Intensive Phonics since it is marketed as based on Orton-Gillingham principles and lessons looked interesting. There is quite a price difference between the two programs (and Reading Horizons is having a 20% off sale until 11/30). While we could continue purchasing each level of Barton as we need it, I am wondering if there is something else out there that would be just as effective, but not as expensive. Then we could put the money saved toward other programs since our son has dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and ADHD. I am just afraid to abandon a program (Barton) that others have seen so much progress with. What if we make a change and then it's not a good fit and we have lost more time?? Hopefully, someone who has experience with this program can share pros and cons with us. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCJessieRN Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 My dd also has dysgraphia, dyscalculia and dyslexia. I did crosspost on the k8 board and got 1 response. My fear is the same as yours and I'm hoping to get more responses as well. Thanks for the bump:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
