Learning to read is among the most important experiences your child could have in school. It is a complex process. Reading involves many skills, and the study of phonics is not one that can be skipped. Phonics is the connection between sounds and letters. By knowing how letters, or groupings of them, sound, your child can sound out, or decode, words. This process should get easier and faster as your student learns, so they can sound out even unfamiliar words as they read. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors can help your child connect with phonics tutors in Pasadena, CA. They will strive to ensure that your child is picking up the material as expected.
Per the Common Core Standards, and the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, your child is expected to reach specific milestones at their grade level. Their tutor can use various approaches to get there. For example, odd word out, phoneme deletion, and word to word matching are strategies that can help your student learn. The instructor can also use sound to word matching and final consonant blends. A personal phonics tutor in Pasadena might make a world of difference in your student's grades and confidence.
