Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

Would Barton Reading and the Lexia computer products(Early Reading and Primary Reading) be compatible?

Without knowing more specifically about Lexia, I think it is an Orton based program. Since it is Orton based and Barton is Orton based I think they wouldn’t be too incompatible. The order might be somewhat different.

Why do you need to supplement Barton?

I think the thing that might be most helpful are some decodable texts. She has some, and there are also some from other publishers, esp at the earlier level.

Yes, they’d be reasonably compatible, but I would want to look in advance at teh exercises because they probably dont’ go in *exactly* the same order. The skills taught are compatible, though.
