Meet Bob, the founder behind Online Reading Tutor

Online Reading Tutor was created by a teacher who saw that struggling readers needed more than encouragement, they needed the right kind of daily practice over a course of several months.

In 2003, with the help of a $5000 donation from grateful parents, Bob was able to create the first reading lab to overcome dyslexia in any Canadian school. Upon retirement he launched ORT to make Structured Literacy support more accessible for families. His goal has always been to help struggling readers achieve grade level reading skills.
