Having struggled with dyslexia himself, Reyn cofounded Winsor Learning in 1991 to help children who also struggle to read. The Sonday System and Let’s Play Learn are effective remediation methods for students who are behind in their reading skills. These programs are used in hundreds of school systems across the country.
