Frequently Asked Questions
The Susan Barton Reading System is a structured, multisensory approach to teaching reading that focuses on phonics, decoding, and fluency. It's designed to help students understand the logical, rule-based nature of the English language and build strong foundational reading skills that support comprehension and academic success across all subjects.
Students who struggle with phonics, have difficulty decoding words, experience reading fluency challenges, or have been identified with dyslexia often see significant progress with Susan Barton's systematic approach. However, students at any reading level—from those building foundational skills to advanced readers—can benefit from the structured, multisensory techniques that reinforce how written English works.
In a typical Atlanta classroom with an average student-teacher ratio of 12.7:1, teachers manage diverse learning needs across many students. Personalized 1-on-1 Susan Barton instruction allows tutors to work at your student's exact pace, repeat concepts as needed, and use multisensory techniques tailored to how your child learns best. This focused attention accelerates skill development and addresses specific gaps that may not be caught in group settings.
Susan Barton tutoring effectively targets phonemic awareness gaps, decoding difficulties, sight word confusion, reading fluency problems, and comprehension struggles rooted in weak foundational skills. The system's logical, rule-based approach helps students understand why words are spelled the way they are, building confidence and independence in reading across all grade levels and subject areas.
The first session typically includes an assessment of your student's current reading level, phonics knowledge, decoding ability, and specific challenges. Based on this evaluation, the tutor will explain how Susan Barton instruction works and create a personalized plan that targets your student's needs, ensuring instruction begins at the right level for meaningful progress.
Many students show noticeable progress in phonics understanding and decoding accuracy within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring. More significant improvements in fluency and comprehension typically develop over several months of regular instruction. The timeline depends on your student's starting point, frequency of tutoring sessions, and practice between lessons—consistency is key to building strong reading foundations.
