The company Timothy E Smith, LLC was created by Tim in 2001 with the purpose of providing quality testing and tutoring services utilizing the Barton Reading and Spelling System. Over his years of tutoring Tim created a number of devices to allow him to be a mobile tutor traveling from his home office to schools and back again as well as tutoring remotely. With the help of his wife Evelyn Smith, they began to commercially produce these devices for other tutors and perfecting their designs.
The Stack and Go boards were developed in December 2007 and established the first standardized tile layout for the Barton program’s 244 tiles. By using magnetized tiles, tutors were given the ability to stack the tile boards and easily transport them from one appointment to another.
