Skyword Tutoring for Dyslexia
Skyword Tutoring is a private reading studio focused on helping students with dyslexia build strong skills and confidence through structured, one-on-one instruction.
I offer both remote and in-person sessions.
If your child is struggling with reading or spelling due to dyslexia,
having the right support is a game-changer.
ABOUT ME
Hello! I am Karla Kramer, and I grew up 30 miles west of Portland, and have been a lifelong Oregonian.
I am an experienced tutor using the Orton Gillingham-based Barton Reading and Spelling System.
Prior to becoming a specialized dyslexia tutor, I was a reading interventionist for the Oregon public school system. After receiving training and deepening my skills in the Orton Gillingham-style approach, I have tutored students with reading challenges privately for the last 7 years.
I am inspired by the work of Brock and Fernette Eide, whose extensive research proves that dyslexia is not
a deficit but instead 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.
I am enthusiastic and make strong, positive connections with my students by being present with them, making learning to read and spell fun and inspiring.
My studio is a calm and supportive environment.
There is nothing more satisfying than to witness the positive changes in my students and I love being part of their lives and educational journey!
Kind Words and Real Results
"We are so grateful for Karla and the incredible impact she has had on our daughter's reading journey. What was once a source of stress and anxiety has completely transformed itself into confidence and excitement for reading. Karla’s kindness, patience, and genuine care create an environment where our daughter feels safe to learn and grow at her own pace. The progress we've seen has been beyond what we hoped for, and we know it's because Karla takes the time to truly understand and encourage each child she works with."
