Private In-Home and Online Tutoring Near You

Phonics plays a large part in your child's ability to read. It's imperative that he or she recognizes how certain letters sound when it comes to their placement in a word. If your child learns to read early, then other subjects will likely come easier to them. On the other hand, slow reading development can hinder later progress. Don't stress, though. Varsity Tutors will locate a phonics tutor in Hollywood, California, who will use the most up-to-date resources to try to help your child excel in phonics.
In reading, there is a lot of ground to cover, including things like short vowels, long vowels, single consonants, and sound to word matching. Mastering these could help your child in later years when they take the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) test. Also, once they graduate, they could use their knowledge of phonics to be a speech therapist or teachers of English as a Second Language. Let a skilled professional tutor in Hollywood, CA, teach your child all about phonics.
A classroom setting can be a difficult place to learn phonics. Early education curriculums do stress teaching phonics, but being in a large classroom can hinder learning and lead to falling behind. Your child's teacher only has so much time to devote to each individual student. Also, your son or daughter might be intimidated by those who read faster than them. You might have considered getting phonics books to read at home. Bookstores have a lot of choices on the shelves, so picking the right ones will be difficult. You may also be under your own time constraints with your child. A private session with a tutor in a relaxed atmosphere can be really beneficial to learning. Your child's tutor will be well-versed in all aspects of phonics. Unlike the classroom, your son or daughter's tutor will gladly repeat any problem area as many times as needed. Each of the tutors whom Varsity Tutors can find for your child in Hollywood is experienced in teaching phonics.
It's not difficult at all to set up tutoring sessions. You can choose the meeting place and times, since it is all about flexibility. There are many choices for where your child's tutor can meet up, including a diner, coffee shop, a library, and your own home. Should your child prefer to use the Internet, there are options for online face-to-face sessions.
Your child doesn't have to fear having to learn phonics. Let us find you an expert phonics tutor in Hollywood who is trained to teach students at any proficiency level.
