Connecting letters to sounds is not an uncommon struggle for children, but such problems with phonics can make learning to read difficult. If you're worried your child is behind in their phonics comprehension, professional tutors are available to provide the extra help your child needs. Phonics tutors use a variety of instructional aids to explain rhyming, why letter sounds change to form new words, and how to break up words into individual sounds, otherwise known as phoneme segmentation. This is called expanding phonological awareness, and Varsity Tutors' educational directors can help you find that special phonics tutor in Medford, MA, who can try to help your child work to try to attain more confidence in phonics.
