Receive personally tailored Phonics lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.
One of the more difficult parts of a young student's education is often translating words on a page into sounds and words that he or she understands. The English language is one of the more confusing languages to learn, because many words often aren't spelled anything like they sound, and with 42 different sounds and no accent marks like in Spanish or French, there isn't much to guide a student. When a student sees the word "colonel" for the first time, for example, it can be a massive struggle for him or her to figure out anything close to its correct pronunciation.
As a parent, you know how confounding the English language can be, and the last thing you want is to see your young student fall behind his or her class because of struggles with understanding how to read new words out loud. If your child is having problems adapting reading to speaking, let us help you find a solution!

One thing your tutor might try is to have your child read age-level appropriate books that feature a captivating subject. If your child enjoys something such as nature, a zoo-themed book can be a great way for him or her to start to sound out words. As he or she starts to understand basic words, your tutor can move on to more challenging words that build off what your child has learned. Varsity Tutors' Yonkers, NY, educational directions can find a professional tutor in phonics who could make your child's study sessions a fun and positive experience!
If you're seeing signs of your child struggling with translating words into their sounds, don't wait for things to get better.
