How can a Phonics tutor help you?
When your child studies phonics, they are learning to match the written letters with their sounds. This is an important part of reading, as matching letters with their sounds enables children to be able to sound out many words. Phonics is necessary for children to be able to comprehend the text they are reading. With proper phonics instruction, your child is able to decode words on the page and begin the process to learn to love reading, a skill which is obviously necessary in everybody's daily life. Phonics may be tough to learn, especially in a classroom setting, where the teacher does not have time to take on each individual's questions and challenges. But don't worry because Varsity Tutors may assist you in finding an independent, professional phonics tutor in San Diego.
If your child is struggling to keep up with the class in reading and phonics, their tutor may help them. They may focus on only your child and walk them through the phonics learning step by step, letter by letter. You may give them a class syllabus or your child's teacher's email address, and your tutor may find out what your student needs to know and what they need to learn still. Then they may focus specifically on your child and helping them with those particular things, not wasting time studying things your child already knows. Our educational directors in San Diego, CA, may find you phonics tutors who may try to help you maximize your child's study time and even help them perform well on the reading portion of the CAASPP.
