Fairfield Phonics Tutoring FAQ
You've been hoping it's just a fluke, but now you're forced to admit that your child seems to have a lot of trouble with phonics. When you see them trying so hard to sound out words, it breaks your heart. So, what can you do? You can read along with them and sound out words together. What you should do is get help from a professional tutor. Here's where we come in. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors are well-versed in helping students in Fairfield find phonics tutors.
Phonics involves learning how to attach meaning between letters and the sounds they represent. This, in turn, leads to decoding, when children are then able to understand the meaning of individual words and full sentences. Great concentration must be placed on phonics during the early grades or children will have a lot of difficulty with more advanced reading as they get older. Even with this early emphasis, some students may have a considerable amount of trouble. If your child is really struggling with phonics, it could be that they aren't responding to how the subject is taught at their school. A different perspective can turn that struggle into a gain.
This is how tutoring differs from traditional classroom learning. An experienced phonics tutor in Fairfield, CT, can present your child with multiple teaching approaches until they find the one that works best for them. They'll pay special attention to those areas where you child has the greatest difficulty, and work harder on them until they're corrected. Your child may also finally have opportunities to get all their questions answered, and a tutor will never rush them.
In order to maximize your child's chances for success, a tutor will make themselves available at the most convenient times according your schedule. In keeping with this, they'll also do study sessions in your home, or another appropriate location. If you'd prefer to have your child study remotely, Varsity Tutors offers a face-to-face live learning platform that allows them to go online to meet their tutor. For assistance with helping your child understand their phonics course in Fairfield, call our educational directors.
Phonics form the basis for all future reading ability. Dealing with complications in learning phonics can seem daunting, but individualized attention and encouragement from a tutor could turn complications into opportunities. Call Varsity Tutors to get connected with a phonics tutor in Fairfield, CT.
