Frequently Asked Questions
Susan Barton reading instruction is a structured, multisensory approach to teaching reading that emphasizes phonics, decoding, and fluency. It's designed to help students build strong foundational skills and overcome reading difficulties by addressing the specific ways the brain processes written language. For students in Jacksonville who struggle with reading or want to strengthen their literacy skills, this method provides a systematic pathway to reading success.
Susan Barton instruction works well for students with dyslexia, reading delays, decoding challenges, or those who haven't responded well to traditional classroom instruction. It's also beneficial for students who read slowly, struggle with spelling, or lack confidence in reading. With Jacksonville's average student-teacher ratio of 18.2:1, personalized 1-on-1 Susan Barton instruction can provide the focused attention many students need to make real progress.
Personalized tutoring allows an expert tutor to tailor instruction to your student's specific learning pace, gaps, and learning style—something that's difficult in a classroom setting. Susan Barton instruction in a 1-on-1 format means your student gets immediate feedback, targeted practice on problem areas, and can move at their own speed without falling behind or getting bored. This customized approach often leads to faster progress and stronger foundational reading skills.
The first session typically includes an assessment of your student's current reading level, decoding skills, and specific challenges. A tutor will work with your student to understand their learning style and establish baseline skills, then begin introducing Susan Barton techniques in a low-pressure way. This foundation helps the tutor create a personalized plan for the sessions ahead.
Many students begin showing noticeable improvements in decoding and fluency within 4-6 weeks of consistent 1-on-1 instruction, though the timeline varies based on the student's starting point and frequency of sessions. Foundational skills like letter-sound correspondence and blending typically strengthen first, followed by improvements in reading speed and comprehension. Consistent practice between sessions accelerates progress significantly.
Susan Barton instruction uses a structured phonics approach that complements and reinforces what schools teach, focusing on the foundational decoding skills that support classroom reading instruction. Tutors can align sessions with your student's grade level and school curriculum while targeting any specific gaps. This personalized approach helps students apply what they learn in tutoring directly to their classroom reading assignments.
Expert tutors who work with Varsity Tutors using Susan Barton methods have specialized training in structured literacy, phonics instruction, and often have backgrounds in reading intervention or special education. Many have certifications or extensive experience working with students who have dyslexia or reading difficulties.
