I passed!

I took my certification test on Saturday for the Barton Reading and Spelling System. I have been volunteer tutoring with this system for about 7 months now. I will always be grateful for Amy and Amanda. They were my first students. I am also grateful to a friend, Rebecca Whitecotton who sold me the first three levels of this system for a fraction of what it would have cost me new. She was just glad that someone could use them to help others.

I am grateful for this time in my life that I can help so many kids who suffer with dyslexia or other reading problems. It has brought me much joy to help nine children so far. I am grateful for a husband who supports me in this endeavor. He doesn't complain even though I have done all my work for free so far. Now that I have my certification, I feel more comfortable charging parents. But I will wait until we move next summer before I take on new students. I have my hands full with the students I currently tutor.
