Skyword Tutoring for Dyslexia

ABOUT ME
Hello! I am Karla Kramer, and I am a lifelong Oregonian.
I grew up 30 miles west of Portland in the foothills of the coast range.
In addition to my work with children and adults with dyslexia, I am an avid gardener, loving to have my hands in the dirt. I have professionally designed many landscapes throughout my life. Spending time in nature, working with my hands in whatever creative medium I am engaged in, whether it is weaving, pottery, cooking good food...brings me joy!
Being moderately dyslexic myself, I can understand first-hand some of the challenges my students face.
I am inspired by the work of Brock and Fernette Eide, whose extensive research proves that dyslexia is not only a deficit but a gift.
There are indeed "a sea of strengths" that go hand-in-hand with dyslexia and I encourage my students to be aware of and develop these "super powers" that they innately have to share with the world.
Prior to becoming a specialized dyslexia tutor, I worked as a reading interventionist for the Oregon public school system. After receiving training and deepening my skills in an Orton Gillingham-style approach, I have tutored students with reading challenges privately for the last 7 years using the Barton Reading & Spelling System as my core curriculum.
I am enthusiastic, and make strong, positive connections with my students by being present with them in our time together; I make learning fun and inspiring.
There is nothing more satisfying than to witness the positive changes in my students and I love being part of their educational and life journey!
Kind Words and Real Results
"While our son's fluency and spelling skills have improved by leaps, the new confidence is what we are overjoyed to see the most.
I just wish that we would have found Karla sooner."
