How can a Phonics tutor help you?
Phonics is essential to your child's ability to read proficiently. Through phonics, your child learns how to identify the sounds made by letters, as well as the sounds that letters make in certain combinations together. It allows your child to "sound it out" as he or she reads, either alone or aloud. Your child may use phonics to begin decoding sentences based on letters, groups, and sounds. The subject is traditionally taught in kindergarten and first grade, allowing your child to develop strong skills to build on as he or she learns to read. If your child is struggling with these techniques and concepts, Varsity Tutors' educational directors may help you connect with a professional phonics tutor in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Through phonics instruction, your child may begin learning to link sounds to letters, allowing him or her to understand the concept of language patterns. If you are concerned that your child is struggling with phonics, or you suspect your child would enjoy learning the skills early on, Varsity Tutors' may assist you in finding a professional phonics tutor in Minneapolis. The tutor is selected based on a variety of personal factors, such as your child's learning style, understanding of phonics, past instruction, and your personal concerns, among others. Each tutor Varsity Tutors may find for you is professional, experienced, and has a proven track record for success.
