How can Phonics tutoring help you?
Varsity Tutors may help you locate an independent tutor in Buffalo, NY, experienced in helping students prepare for phonics. Your child may get access to an expert in the field who may answer their individualized questions as they come. In working with a tutor, they may get efficient sessions that are designed with them in mind. Through this, they could gain the knowledge of phonics they need to catch up to rest of the class, or even outpace them.
Phonics is an important foundational reading method that asks students to consider letters and the sounds they make. Students then apply those sound rules towards reading a word, a phrase, a paragraph, or more. Learning the phonics technique gives students another tool in their belt to use towards reaching reading competency. Educational science has shown that poor readers tend to overfocus on one clue-generating method in reading to the exclusion of others that might be more useful to the task at hand. Advanced readers tend to use many clues to figure out the proper reading of a word. Phonics contributes to this, and thus contributes towards making students advanced readers.
