Lawrence Phonics Tutoring FAQ
Phonics is a technique for instructing children on how to read and write the English language. The technique works by helping the student see the parallels between the sounds within words, also called phonemes, and the written letters and letter groups corresponding to those sounds, also known as graphemes. Although phonics is looked at as a teaching tool for reading, it also helps children learn to write.
If your child exhibits problems when it comes to reading, writing, or decoding words, they may benefit from a private phonics tutor. Varsity Tutors can find an experienced phonics tutor in Lawrence with expertise and depth of knowledge in the subject who can try to help students at all levels. A tutor can take all of your child's phonics goals into consideration when creating a personalized lesson plan just for them.
An expert phonics tutor can assess the level of your child's reading abilities, analyze their needs, and construct an education plan that will improve their skills. Most of these tutors have experience in teaching phonics to children at all levels. The tutor can use methods to try to help your student in decoding written words into spoken language and vice versa.
If you're looking for phonics tutoring for your child in Lawrence, Varsity Tutors will be happy to try to help you find a tutor who could guide your child along the path to academic success. While some students may struggle in a classroom setting, or with off-the-shelf books and products, an independent tutor can guide your child on the path toward phonics understanding with personalized attention.
A professional phonics tutor can also get your child ready for their exams. Many standardized tests, such as the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS), have at least one section on reading, and phonics is a key component in learning to read quickly and effectively. An experienced phonics tutor can likewise assist your student with tips on how to deal with "test anxiety" that will give them new confidence.
An experienced phonics tutor in Lawrence, MA, could teach your child tips and strategies to do well in their course and on their exams. Your child and the tutor can meet after school or on weekends at a location of your choice. You can also schedule real-time video tutoring sessions with the online live interactive learning platform.
