Mrs. Gretchen Stevens

Mrs. Stevens loves helping students, parents, and teachers use the Barton Method to achieve amazing improvements in spelling, handwriting, and reading.

Does Your Child Struggle In School?

SPELLING

  • Does your child have trouble retaining her spelling words from one week to the next? 
  • Does she have trouble spelling words when writing sentences or stories, even high frequency words like because, friend and does? Then, she may be helped with LiPS & Barton tutoring.

MATH

  • Does your child have trouble memorizing his math facts? 
  • Is he unable to tell time on a clock with hands?

   HANDWRITING

Does your child struggle in the following areas with handwriting or printing?
  • the letters don't sit on the line
  • there may be odd spacing between their words
  • tall letters are sometimes written as short ones
  • tails don't always hang below the line
  • sentences often do not start with capital letters
  • punctuation is often left out

READING

  • Does your child have trouble sounding out new words?
  • Does he guess based on the shape of the word or context?
  • Does he hate reading aloud in class?
  • Does he ignore suffixes (ing, ly) and small words (at, to, of)?
  • Does he read haltingly, while his friends read smoothly?
  • Does his slow reading affect timed tests?
In addtion to using the Carden Method for letter formation, Mrs. Stevens uses the Foundation in Sounds Program & the Barton Reading & Spelling System in her reading tutoring. They are based on the Orton-Gillingham Method and are research based. They are multi-sensory and are explicit and systematic phonics programs.
