Private online reading intervention in Ann Arbor, MI
Receive personally tailored Reading Intervention and support from exceptional tutors and reading specialists with experience working with students with dyslexia in a one-on-one setting. The best tutor isn't always located where you are. We help you connect with online tutoring that offers flexible scheduling.
Varsity Tutors understands how difficult it can be to see your student struggle with challenges related to reading and writing, which is why we offer the opportunity to connect you with an experienced and qualified Ann Arbor reading intervention tutor who can help your child meet those challenges head-on. Reading and writing skills are crucial in nearly every other academic subject that your student will encounter. Because of this, it is extremely important that they don't fall too far behind their peer when it comes to these skills. Ann Arbor reading intervention tutoring has the potential to assist in your student's development, regardless of their age or current levels of ability.
What kinds of reading skills can an Ann Arbor reading intervention tutor near me assist my student with?
The six major components of reading are phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency, reading comprehension, and spelling. If your student is able to establish strong foundations in each of these areas, they can then use their reading skills to help them better understand the material in different fields for the rest of their life.
Phonemic awareness is an individual's ability to utilize phonemes when forming words and syllables. Building off of this is phonics, an area focused on the relationship between combinations of letters and the sounds that they make. Ann Arbor reading intervention tutors can take your student's personal learning style into account when designing lessons. If your child is more of an auditory learner, for instance, their private instructor can read to them aloud. If they are a visual learner, tutors can use flashcards and other graphic aids.
Fluency is when a student can read material out loud with an expected level of speed, expression, and accuracy according to their age group. They are able to understand entire texts rather than decoding each word individually. By encouraging students to read subject matter that they are interested in rather than required academic material, Ann Arbor reading intervention tutors can make fluency development an easier and more enjoyable process for your student.
Both spelling and vocabulary can be learned directly as well as indirectly. Students improve these skills indirectly every day just by reading the words that exist around them in the world. Direct learning can happen in a formal classroom environment or by working with Ann Arbor reading intervention tutoring. Spelling and vocabulary lists can be lifted straight from a student's reading material. The more reading they do, the more these skills tend to develop.
When all of these abilities are combined together, you get reading comprehension. More than simply reading a text, comprehension is when your student can also understand exactly what it is saying. As they reach higher levels of education, this can include concepts like tone, subtext, and themes. Ann Arbor reading intervention tutoring can assist your child with the development of all of these related skills.
What advantages are there to working with Ann Arbor reading intervention tutors?
Perhaps the greatest benefit to private instruction is the opportunity for your student to take part in lessons that are customized to their strengths, weaknesses, and specific needs. This type of support and guidance is often impossible in a traditional classroom setting. Working with an Ann Arbor reading intervention tutor, students get to progress at their own pace and develop a level of comfort with their instructor. Instructors can implement things like mindfulness strategies to help your student remain relaxed and focused during their sessions. This allows them to learn more efficiently and possibly carry more confidence and willingness to participate into their formal learning environment.
Lessons are available either online or in-person, but there are some unique benefits to the virtual variety. You will never have to worry about a commute, as your student can access sessions with their instructor from your home, the Malletts Creek Branch of the Ann Arbor District Library, or any other location with a reliable internet connection. Our Live Learning Platform provides the use of tools, like video chat and a shared document editor, that facilitate instruction when your student and their mentor are in two different physical locations. Sessions on this platform are also recorded for your child to return to and review at any time.
How do I get my child started with assistance from an Ann Arbor reading intervention tutor near me?
Seeking out qualified private instruction on your own can be a daunting and time-consuming process. Let Varsity Tutors do the hard work of connecting you with an expert Ann Arbor reading intervention tutor who can work conveniently with your schedule. The easiest way to get started is by contacting one of our educational consultants directly either online or by phone. They have the ability to provide you with any further information you are looking for before getting your student signed up with the professional assistance they need. When it comes to academic foundations this important, do no hesitate to seek out assistance that can help your student build their skills and confidence.
