barton procedure for teaching sight words

What makes these booklets special is that your child can decode ALL the words used in the booklets, since the booklets only use sight words and words with short vowels (while your child is in Book 3), and only introduces words with long vowels after Book 4. The sight word you are working on is found on every page in a new sentence to help your child understand its context and to also build reading fluency.

The booklets only have 6 pages each, so that the child does not feel overwhelmed while reading, and actually experiences a sense of accomplishment after completing each booklet. This is why I have created these Sight Word Booklets. Most tutors would agree that teaching sight words to a child with dyslexia is a greater challenge than the other lessons since these words are tedious to memorize and require frequent practice. Many of you are familiar with our Short Vowel Workbooks created for Barton students in Levels 2 & 3 (Right Sound Phonics), approved by Susan Barton. Having been a Barton tutor for over ten years, my mission has been to create decodable, controlled reading material that matches your child’s reading level.

As tutors/parents of a child in the Barton Reading & Spelling Program, we try so hard to protect our students from “uncontrolled” reading material, so that they can slowly develop their reading skills and eventually enjoy reading. Yet we know it is almost impossible to find good reading material to help supplement our students in the Barton program and strengthen their reading skills.
