Norwalk Reading Tutoring FAQ
Does your little one tell you that they don't understand why the other children in class read well out loud but your child finds it difficult and has to have the teacher help them sound out words? Let Varsity Tutors find you and your child a professional reading tutor in Norwalk, CT, who can try to help your child progress in their reading skills and finally begin to excel in in their reading class.
Of all the classes your child takes and skills they taught in early elementary school, reading is often considered the most important one. Learning to read well early gives your child an advantage not only in reading class, but in other courses, as well. When they can read those textbook chapters and homework assignment instructions for other classes , they can focus their full attention on the topic they are learning about or completing the assignment instead of becoming frustrated due to encountering words they just can't read or understand. We will find your child a skilled reading tutor in Norwalk who will work to try to give the knowledge they need to read well and comprehend what they read.
There are many methods of teaching reading, and some are more effective for some students than others. There are also outdated methods still used by some teachers that simply don't help children as well as newer methods; the newest methods reading teaching are based on recent scientific discoveries made about how children learn best. For example, an older reading comprehension teaching method often called "mentioning, practicing, and assessing" was found to not help aid in reading comprehension very well at all. We can locate a reading tutor in Norwalk who can choose an updated reading teaching method that complements your child's individual learning style well. You may find that when taught reading in a new way, your child's word recognition, understanding of homophones and homographs, and ability to read contractions begins to progress more quickly than you ever expected.
You can get connected with a skilled reading tutor in Norwalk, CT, by contacting Varsity Tutors. Your child's tutor can meet you and your child in your home, at a local park, at your child's favorite library, or any other place convenient for your family.

Alternative, if it works better for your family, your child can work with their tutor completely online using the Varsity Tutors Live Learning Platform, which allows for visual face-to-face and verbal communication between your child and their tutor while they work hard to get your child caught up in their reading skills.
