​
That is why we offer individualized, one on one, superior tutoring at an affordable price point when compared to our peers.

About DOBI Reading Program
DOBI Reading Program, located in Langley, BC and Spruce Grove, AB, is a unique multi-sensory approach that blends the best of Orton Gillingham, Davis, and Barton methods.
​
Our program is designed for students with learning differences, helping them strengthen reading and language skills, boost confidence, and succeed in school.
​
Using visual, auditory, and hands-on techniques, we make language easier to understand and remember. Many of our students have reached strong reading levels—even without prior phonics knowledge.
Lived Experience Shaping Results
Hayley, the founder of DOBI, was diagnosed with dyslexia as a child. Her own struggles with reading and writing inspired a passion for helping kids with learning differences.
​
That’s why DOBI combines proven methods like Davis, Orton-Gillingham, and Barton—giving students with dyslexia, autism, and other challenges the tools they need to succeed. Every tutor at DOBI is personally trained by Hayley, ensuring her lived experience and expertise shape each student’s learning journey.
​
Hayley’s mission is simple: every child deserves to feel confident and supported in their literacy journey. At DOBI, we understand—because we’ve been there.
The Davis Method sees dyslexia as a difference in how the brain processes information, not a weakness. It builds on a child’s natural strengths in creativity and visual thinking to make learning more intuitive.
Through this approach, kids learn to focus better, manage confusion, and master letters, words, and numbers in a way that feels natural and affirming.
​
By focusing on strengths, the Davis Method helps children unlock their reading potential with confidence.

Orton-Gillingham Approach
Orton-Gillingham is a proven, research-backed approach to literacy intervention. It uses a structured, multisensory, and sequential method that engages sight, sound, and touch to make reading and spelling easier.
By breaking skills into manageable steps and reinforcing them through repetition, it ensures no gaps are missed.
This approach builds strong phonics, fluency, and comprehension skills, providing the structure kids need for long-term reading success.
The Barton System builds on Orton-Gillingham principles, offering a clear and structured approach that delivers consistent results. Its step-by-step lessons are easy to follow and support students with a wide range of reading and spelling challenges.
Alongside reading, it strengthens spelling and writing skills while reinforcing the foundational abilities needed for long-term success.
Designed for accessibility, it works effectively for both educators and parents, helping all struggling readers develop strong literacy skills with confidence.

Why these Methods Work Together
Every child learns differently, which is why no single method works for everyone. By combining Davis, Orton-Gillingham, and Barton, we can tackle the root challenges of dyslexia, build a strong multisensory foundation, and reinforce skills with practical, step-by-step tools.
​
This blended approach adapts to each child’s needs—helping them not just improve, but thrive. These methods go beyond reading and writing; they build confidence, independence, and a belief in their own abilities.
​
At DOBI, we’ve seen firsthand how these programs change lives. And because we keep our pricing lower than other specialized options, more families can access the support their children deserve—without compromising on quality.
Why Should I Choose DOBI?
Proprietary, Multisensory Methodology
Multi-sensory instruction engages multiple senses—sight, sound, touch, and movement—to help kids connect with and understand concepts.
By giving students more than one way to learn, it makes reading easier to grasp and remember. Research shows this approach is highly effective for children struggling with reading.
Individualized
Instruction
Individualized instruction means teaching that’s tailored to each student. Lessons are one-on-one, paced according to the child’s needs, and guided by clear, step-by-step goals.
The approach can be adjusted at any time to match the student’s abilities, making it especially effective for building core skills like reading and writing.
Our Track Record of Results
After working with hundreds of students, we know the DOBI program works. It combines the most effective parts of proven reading methods, designed to connect with children who learn differently. In a safe, supportive, and self-paced environment, students learn the rules and patterns of language, build strategies that work, and gain confidence in their abilities.
​
We also conduct regular reading assessments to track progress. If a student isn’t improving, we’ll be honest and recommend exploring another approach.
Building Confidence Through Trust & Fun
At DOBI, learning is fun. Our lessons are interactive, creative, and engaging, so students actually enjoy the process. When kids look forward to learning, they gain confidence faster and make lasting progress.
​
Just as important, students build strong connections with their tutors—relationships rooted in trust, encouragement, and support. This bond helps kids feel safe, motivated, and excited to learn.
Mission-Driven Pricing
DOBI keeps tutoring accessible because our mission is to help as many students as possible. By streamlining operations and focusing on what works—effective, research-based instruction without unnecessary add-ons—we’re able to offer a lower price point than many of our peers while maintaining high quality and measurable progress. More families can start sooner, stay longer, and see their kids thrive. Comparable tutoring centres will charge $250+ for the initial assessment, and anywhere from $95 to $145 per 1 hour session.
What People Are Saying About DOBI

"DOBI Reading Program changed my daughters life.
My daughter begun her tutoring a year ago and it has been nothing short of amazing. She was in Grade 4 and struggling immensely. Her self-esteem was starting to wither away. Today my H is a confident girl who has improved tremendously. Her teachers are amazed. As well, she enjoys going twice a week. If you are a parent/caregiver sitting where I was please be assured I recommend DOBI immensely."

"After only a couple sessions, it all started to click for my son. He started sounding out words phonetically for the first time and has been making progress every week since. Hayley does monthly reading assessments and we have seen a steady improvement in his assessments month after month. I asked L what has changed for him and he immediately said “the way Miss. Hayley teaches just makes so much more sense! Why doesn’t school teach us this way?”.
Hayley has turned out to be an amazing teacher, support and resource. She truly cares about L and his progress. L eagerly looks forward to seeing Hayley two times a week and has a great time with her, leaving their sessions with a smile and a proud moment or funny story to share with us. She has boosted his confidence and is so gentle and supportive of his individual learning needs. I wish I would have found her earlier in our reading journey."

“My kids have been going to DOBI Reading Program since Sept.2022. It is the first program they have ever enjoyed going to!
Having children with complex needs I find it hard to motivate them to want to go to (reading) therapy. Hayley does an amazing job with her program to really engage children, make them want to learn and get excited about their progress!
My kids love for reading has grown and they feel more confident with their school work. I highly recommend DOBI reading!"
