Private Phonics Tutoring in Duval County, FL
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.
Phonics teaches your child how to relate the sounds of language with the symbols of written words. It is one of the key tools used to develop the reading skills of young students. Instruction in phonics generally begins in kindergarten and continues into second grade, at which point your child could be expected to have basic reading ability. Given the importance of reading in school and in life, you owe it to your child to make sure they understand phonics. A private phonics tutor in Duval County, FL, can work with your child to try to get them back on track in their reading skills.
Phonics ability is developed sequentially, with a focus on the consonants first and the vowels thereafter. Once children associate the letters of the alphabet with individual sounds, they can begin sound out, or "decode," the words on a page. Progressively, phonics then helps them recognize common groups of letters and the blended sounds they represent. Additional instruction in prefixes and suffixes, and their meanings, could give your child the knowledge base they need to read age appropriate texts. If your child needs help with phonics, Varsity Tutors' educational directors in Duval County can locate a tutor who could accelerate the development of their language abilities.
