Yes! Take a look at this study: In 2013, a Duval County public school did a pilot program with 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students who had a record of significant reading deficiency. They provided an hour of small group intervention (3 students) every day using the Barton Reading & Spelling System. On the Word Attack subtest of the Woodcock Reading Mastery 3 test, students showed an average grade-level gain of over 1 year – after just 3 months of small-group intervention. On the easyCBM, a nationally normed test of reading fluency and comprehension which is aligned with the Common Core State Standards, on a grade-level passage, Barton students increased their score by 61.9 percentile points in just 3 months.

Independent, scientific, replicated research does NOT support the use of those systems for children with dyslexia. With appropriate intervention, children with dyslexia can learn to read and spell successfully.

No two people with dyslexia learn at exactly the same pace, so we can only provide an estimate. If a student has classic, moderate dyslexia, and is tutored twice a week in a one-on-one setting, for an hour each time, it will take 2 to 3 years to complete all ten levels of the Barton System. After those 2 to 3 years, a formerly struggling student will read well and spell competently at the mid-ninth grade level. Students with mild dyslexia often complete the system a bit sooner, while students with more severe dyslexia may need 4 to 5 years. A student can make faster progress if tutored more often. A child tutored 3 or 4 times a week will progress much faster than one who only gets tutoring twice a week.
