How can Phonics tutoring help you?
Phonics is a strategy used in elementary schools to teach children how to read. Phonics is traditionally taught early on in elementary school, though it is often used in conjunction with other strategies. With phonics, your child learns about letters and their sounds, as well as the relationship between them, allowing him or her to learn to spell the words. Your child may spend his or her time sounding out the words and phrases of his or her English class as he or she practices to understand the written form of language. The English language may be a struggle to grasp, given its complexities. If your child is having trouble learning to read English, Varsity Tutors' educational directors may help you connect with an independent phonics tutor in Seattle, Washington.
The educational directors at Varsity Tutors are prepared to assist you in identifying a tutor for your child. They begin by creating a student profile that details your child's various personality aspects. The director may consider his or her learning style, current understanding of phonics, study habits, and more. With this, they may connect you with an excellent phonics tutor in Seattle to begin helping your child understand the written form of English.
