Yonkers Phonics Tutoring FAQ
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! Varsity Tutors will hand-pick a phonics tutor in Yonkers, NY, who can work with your child's individual learning style, abilities, and personality!
We'll make sure we select someone who can connect with your child as an individual and present phonics to him or her in a way that may make it easy to figure out. Your tutor will be able to set up sessions that fit your child's personality and your schedule.

Let a skilled professional tutor in Yonkers teach your child all he or she will need to know about phonics!
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!
