Private Reading Specialist

Expert Reading Intervention in Los Angeles

I help kids become strong readers. 

Hi! My name is Kasey Palermo, and It is my passion to unlock each child’s potential and create a love for reading.

As a structured literacy specialist, I use explicit, systematic instruction to help kids develop foundational reading skills. Each lesson is tailored to their interests and needs.

Whether your child is ready to learn to read or needs extra support, I can help them become independent, enthusiastic readers.

  • Kasey is MAGICAL. She brings together an effervescence and joy for teaching with a deep, studied knowledge of words and reading. My son adores her and looks forward to his time with her every single time. Even when he's tired and overwhelmed, he never complains about being with her to learn. She makes it fun and is inspirational and supportive in the process. Even my preschooler wants to be with her because she's so magnetic. I'm constantly amazed at how well-prepared she is in creating a plan that is targeted specifically to my child, and how she's able to teach yet make it feel like play. I don't think my child knows what he's doing is hard because she makes it feel effortlessly easy. She's insightful, creative, personable, quick witted and an absolute delight. We couldn't love her more and are so grateful for all she's brought to our family with the dedication she's given us.

  • Magic! Working with Ms. Palermo is pure magic. My 6 year old was not interested in going to school, sitting at a desk most of the day, or reading. Yet she captured his attention and imagination, resulting in him actually looking forward to school and learning. She laid the foundation for him to not only learn to read, but to LOVE reading! Years later I still credit her with lighting the spark that got him interested in books.

  • I highly recommend Kasey at Blue Door Reading for any parent looking for a reading tutor for their child. As a therapist in the area I can confidently refer clients whose children need help with Kindergarten readiness, tutoring for dyslexia, elementary reading support and parent coaching. She not only has a phenomenal background as a teacher, but she also understands the importance of building a supportive and trusting relationship with the students and families she works with. I cannot say enough good things about her and her work!
