Every test will have different strategies, but you can expect this general approach for the ACT, SSAT, and any other standardized test.

How can a Phonics tutor help you?
Phonics is a subject every child encounters in school. It is an important one, as it involves the process of identifying how phonemes, or sounds, relate to letters and spoken language. Falling behind now may leave your child behind in being prepared for every other subject. Varsity Tutors may find you a skilled phonics tutor in Albany, NY, who may offer your student individualized one-on-one attention. A private instructor may focus on your child's needs, rather than those of an entire class. This allows the tutor to concentrate on your child's specific weaknesses and spend the time more efficiently.
Different from phonemic awareness, which is the auditory-based ability to manipulate sounds within words, phonics is just as essential for learning to read. By knowing the sounds of each letter, your child may decode words as they move along in a text. There are numerous techniques a tutor may use. If your child is struggling, strategies such as odd word out, phoneme deletion, or sound-to-word matching may help them make the connection. The instructor may assess their proficiency level and then create personalized lessons that involve continuous assessments. Some children naturally pick up on the concepts more slowly. Varsity Tutors may help you find an experienced phonics tutor in Albany who may try to help your child attain success by creating a study plan that is focused on them.
