Receive personally tailored Phonics lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.Many of us take for granted that when we open a book, newspaper, or webpage, we will be able to decode the symbols on the page as written language and understand exactly what the written words mean. Part of this fluency is thanks to phonics, the process of understanding the sound associated with each written symbol. Phonics is a strategy crucial to fluent reading, because other strategies, like context clues and pictures, cannot help us to understand a full story. Phonics includes understanding of consonants and vowel sounds, and understanding how letters work when they are combined into full words. Phonics exercises may include flashcards, word games, rhymes, and spelling quizzes. Because letter sounds and the alphabet need to be memorized, phonics requires a good deal of repetition to become second nature. The Varsity Tutors educational directors can find you an expert phonics tutor in Arvada, CO, To help your child try to realize their potential as a strong reader.
The majority of English words can be decoded and "sounded out" using phonics rules. Until a student is able to look at words on a page and easily sound them out, they cannot focus all of their attention to actually comprehending the text. In other words, if a student is so busy trying to recognize words, they may not have enough mental energy left to understand what the words mean in the passage as a whole. We could help you find a professional tutor in Arvada to try to help your student build upon their strengths and eliminate their weaknesses in phonics.
Reading comprehension is critical for higher-level learning in school, and that is why it is so heavily measured on standardized tests like the PSAT, ACT, PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers), and CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success). A professional phonics tutor in Arvada, CO, could teach your child the study skills they need to potentially improve on these exams, using a strong background in phonics that supports reading comprehension.
A one-on-one tutor can meet your child wherever they learn best, whether that's at home, a library, or at a park. All tutors can also meet online using our face-to-face interactive learning platform. Once your child's tutor gets started, they will assess your student's level and pinpoint any areas that are holding them back. Then, their tutor will develop exercises to strengthen those weak areas, while consistently providing feedback and encouragement. For many students, the individualized attention they receive from a tutor could make all the difference in their journey to becoming a fully fluent reader.
