Des Plaines Phonics Tutoring FAQ
If you are the parent of a child who has encountered difficulty in their literacy learning, you may have looked into what manner of basic reading education methods are available. One of the most effective methods is phonics, a way of teaching children how to read by connecting letters and groupings of letters with their specific sound. This can be a difficult system to teach, as the English language has only 26 letters in the writing system, but over 40 sounds. Children can be confused and overwhelmed by the rules and exceptions to rules. This may cause them to fall behind their classmates or struggle with reading in the future. If your student is having a difficult time overcoming their struggles in phonics, then a phonics tutor in Des Plaines, Illinois, might be an excellent choice.
Private tutoring allows your student to learn with methods that are not conventionally used in a classroom environment. Your student's learning plan can be personalized to take the student's weaknesses, strengths, personality traits, current comprehension level, and preferred learning style into account. The plan can directly address your student's learning needs, while still being flexible. Your student can spend the necessary time on the areas that cause them the most issues, and gloss over any areas that they already understand. With Des Plaines, Illinois, phonics tutoring, your student and their tutor can work efficiently through the necessary material.

Your child should feel comfortable approaching a page full of words, and a tutor can help them work on their understanding and confidence.
