Where Skills, Stories, and Confidence Are Woven Together

Hi, I’m McKenzie — the heart behind Looms + Light Reading Studio.

I am a Certified Structured Literacy Dyslexia Specialist with a strong background in special education and years of experience as a reading interventionist supporting young readers. Over time, I’ve learned that children don’t just need instruction—they need warmth, understanding, and a space where learning feels genuinely safe.

What I Do

• Structured Literacy instruction rooted in the Science of Reading

• Dyslexia-informed, developmentally gentle, evidence-based methods

• 1:1 online. lessons designed for calm, steady growth

Who I Help

• Hesitant or struggling readers who need confidence and clarity

• Children with suspected dyslexia who need skilled, warm support

• Learners with an official dyslexia diagnosis seeking consistent, effective intervention

How It Works

1. Inquiry – A simple form + optional follow up call to understand your child’s needs

2. Assessment – A gentle, thorough placement that identifies strengths and next steps

3. Weekly 1:1 Lessons – Individualized, connected instruction built around your child

A Note to Parents

If you’re here, you probably care deeply about your child’s reading journey. You might feel worried, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. I want you to know this:

You are not behind.

Your child is not behind.

You’re simply finding the right fit—and I’m honored to walk alongside you.

Together, we can help your child build skills, confidence, and a warm relationship with reading… one gentle stitch at a time.
