Stamford Phonics Tutoring FAQ
Phonics is the application of speech sounds to written language. It is utilized to decode and comprehend written language. The skills your child learns in phonics determine whether they are able to read. This is an important skill because of how often reading is used. If you want to strive to ensure that your child gets off to a good start in regards to reading, you should connect them with a private tutor. Varsity Tutors could help your child connect with an experienced phonics tutor in Stamford, CT.
A phonics tutor in Stamford could break down the most complicated concepts in a way that is easy for your child to understand. One of the reasons your child may be struggling with learning written English is that English is one of the hardest languages to learn. English has 26 letters, but it has 42 phonemes or sounds. It is typical for languages to have the same amount of numbers as phonemes. If this is not the case, the language traditionally has accents to differentiate between sounds. Bu English doesn't have either of these things. So if your child is having a tough time understanding English, they are certainly not alone.
Another reason your child may be having a hard time is that individuals who are not skilled in reading often only use one reading strategy. Only using one reading strategy limits the amount of information that is available. Your child's private tutor can teach them about different reading strategies and offer advice on how to best utilize those strategies.
Our educational directors will find an phonics tutor for your child in Stamford by getting to know them and their goals and needs. Your child's private phonics tutor can analyze their learning style and adapt the way they teach to match it. Their tutor is also able to identify what topics they are having the most trouble with and develop a study plan that specifically focuses on those areas. So whether your child is having a hard time with blending, consonant digraphs, phonemic awareness, or phoneme deletion, their tutor can give them as much time as they need to in order to fully comprehend each topic.
We'll find your child a private phonics tutor in Stamford, CT, who is extremely flexible and can work with their schedule. Your child's private phonics tutor is available to meet them either in person or face-to-face online. Their tutor is also able to meet them at a time and location that works best for both you and your child. So if your child would like to meet their tutor at West Beach, at cafe Oolala, at the South End Branch Library, or at your house, they are free to do so.
