How can Phonics tutoring help you?
If a student shows signs of having difficulty in phonics very early in their education, steps must be taken right away to correct this or it will set the tone for their reading ability in the future. To be a fluent reader, a person must be able to understand the relationship between the spelling of words and the sounds connected to those words. Does your child seem to struggle with phonics more than other students in their class? If so, don't wait to get them help. Tutoring offers individualized attention for your child. Varsity Tutors can make this happen. A passionate phonics tutor in Youngstown, OH, could be your child's best bet to do well in their course.
According to an analysis done by the National Reading Panel, five methods - analogy, analytic, embedded, spelling, and synthetic - are used one after another to introduce phonics to children from kindergarten through sixth grade. The first focuses on unfamiliar words by comparing them to words a child already know. Next, the child could analyze the sounds of the new words based on previous words. Embedded phonics involves reading new words in text. Afterward, a child is asked to separate those words into individual sounds(phonemes)and match them to letters. Finally, synthetic phonics involves taking those phonemes and forming new words.
