Our story
Meet Bob, the founder behind Online Reading Tutor
Online Reading Tutor was created by a special-education teacher who saw that struggling readers needed more than encouragement. They needed the right kind of daily practice, sustained over months, not minutes a week.
In 2003, with the help of a $5,000 donation from grateful parents, Bob built the first reading lab of its kind in a Canadian school to help students overcome dyslexia. Upon retirement, he launched Online Reading Tutor to make Structured Literacy support accessible to every family, not just the ones who happened to be in his classroom.
