[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the replies so far.

She can read and did end 1st grade reading at a first grade level but still struggles with decoding words.  K and 1st cover the basic letter sounds but there was very little work with letter blends so we are still struggling with those.[/quote]

Barton is great for decoding.  SO is WIlson, but it needs more training.  Barton is more geared toward the parent at home. [/quote]

My only hesitation with Barton would be that it is really expensive. [/quote]

Barton is geared towards kids with dyslexia.  It would help any kid, but would be unnecessary for kids who are typical learners.  If she's mostly at grade level but having problems with a couple of things, I would try some of the other free/inexpensive things first.

If you suspect dyslexia, though, Barton would be my first recommendation for a homeschooler.  Dyslexia affects 10-15% of people and equal prevalence among both boys and girls.  If you do suspect dyslexia, I recommend first watching the videos on http://www.dys-add.com/freeVideos.html
