If you are the original buyer, consider sharing the Barton Reading & Spelling System and splitting the cost with someone else.

For this option to work, you’ll need to order one extra set of tiles or you can use the Barton Tiles app.

That means any level you purchase from her is legitimate and complete. She also registers each purchase with us, so if you ever want to order extra tiles, you can.

But she does NOT offer a free exchange if Level 1 or 2 is too easy. That offer only applies if you purchased your level directly from us.

To find out if Evelyn has the used level that you need, go ahead and call Evelyn Smith, in Arizona, at 480-228-9200.

Her email is: etsmith2@cox.net

Once your child has finished a level, you can sell it to someone else, and use those funds to get the next level.

If you sell each level once your child has finished it, then it will cost very little to go through the Barton System.

And we provide free unlimited support to everyone who uses the Barton System, whether they bought it directly from us or bought it used from someone else —as long as it is a real, legitimate Barton level.

Also, make sure any used level is complete BEFORE you buy it — because we do not sell spare parts.

Sadly, we have also discovered counterfeit Barton levels being sold on eBay, and sometimes, illegally copied manuals being sold by individuals.

We will NOT provide any support, or access to our online videos or our Barton Tiles App, if you have a counterfeit or illegal copy.

So before you buy a used levels from anyone other than Evelyn Smith, send us a email with a link to the listing – and ask us if it is a real legitimate Barton level or not.
