My 9 yr old child is currently enrolled in the public school system and I have him tutored through an outside certified Barton reading tutor twice a week. In the last 3 months he has made extreme improvement. He started on level one and is currently at the end of level 3. His confidence level, attitude and reading skills have improved tremendously. His teachers also sees the great improvement, unfortunately his current school does not teach in the same manner, so I am currently looking into a non-public school which is called Summit View in Valley Glen, California, specializing in learning disabled children. Does anyone have any information on this school? My understanding is they mainly teach dyslexic children or at least The Wilson Reading Program geared toward teaching dyslexic people. My main concern is Barton reading is working so well for him I’m concerned of changing programs. But having him taught entirely the way a dyslexic child needs to learn would be good for him. Are the two programs (Wilson and Barton) similar? Any info. would be helpful. Thanks
