Newton Phonics Tutoring FAQ
As children learn how to speak, read, and write, the understanding of phonics becomes paramount. The blending of sounds and words is easy for some students to understand, but others struggle with basic phonemic practices such as hearing and making rhymes. Make the effort to see that your child is ahead of the class when it comes to phonics, and connect with a tutor. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors are experienced at connecting students in Newton with phonics tutors. You'll put your child on a path of achievement, and with the understanding of phonics, grasping the concepts of communication will come easily.
As adults, we take our ability to understand phonics for granted. Children, however, need to think about decoding sounds and relating those sounds to words. A tutor can work with your student on word to word matching and sound to word matching. Contact an educational director for help finding phonics tutors in Newton, MA. It won't take long for your child's tutor to identify where extra practice is needed. Once your student can start concentrating on consonants, vowels, and phoneme segregation, he or she will make noticeable progress in the area of phonics.
The educational directors at Varsity Tutors can help you connect with an independent tutor in Newton who can assist your child in understanding phonics. Taking this step for your student will come with many benefits. You'll notice that your child has more confidence in speaking and reading. Classroom performance will improve and he or she might be more prepared for the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) tests. Your tutor will be able to provide intense, one-on-one instruction that comes with a lot of support and encouragement, whether your student is struggling or performing well. You can schedule in-person study sessions at a time and place that's convenient for you, or set up a face-to-face online tutoring session. Your tutor will work around any schedule conflicts or timing requirements.
Your child's teacher will likely communicate any challenges that are facing your student when it comes to phonics. Once you know that a little extra help is needed, contact Varsity Tutors' educational directors for help connecting with phonics tutors near Newton, MA. The extra practice and the introduction of new ways to think about phonics will have a huge impact on your child's ability to learn and understand this important skill. Your child's tutor will be able to adapt to the way your child learns, and his or her strengths could help with the rapid improvement of phonics and communication.
