Private Tutoring Near You
Receive personally tailored Reading 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.As your child has grown, you've probably settled in with them and a book and read them a story countless times throughout the years. As your child gets older though, you'll likely want to see that they enjoy reading, or, at the very least, do not struggle to read. If you're concerned about your child's skill in reading, Varsity Tutors' educational directors can help you connect with a professional reading tutor in Beaverton, OR.
Teachers use a variety of techniques to teach reading. There are five pillars of reading instruction, which, when all connected, help a youth to read. These pillars are phonemic awareness, or the ability to hear and identify phonemes; phonics, or the link between how letters sound what the letters can do. Phonics is important to decoding. Fluency is the ability to read accurately. Vocabulary is obviously important, because if children don't know words, they can't understand them as they read. The final pillar is comprehension, which is simply putting the other four pillars all together. Your child may benefit from one-on-one attention from an independent tutor who has the time to fully concentrate on their work with your daughter or son.
