Receive personally tailored Reading Intervention 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.
Varsity Tutors understands how much of a struggle it can be to see your student experiencing difficulty with reading and writing, and we'd welcome the chance to set your student up with an Atlanta reading intervention tutor who can help them advance their abilities. Literacy is crucial for success in school, as just about every subject requires it, whether it's a humanities course that asks students to write essays and analyze texts or a math class that asks them to solve word problems. Reading continues to be an invaluable skill long after students have finished their academic careers. The earlier that students become competent readers the better, but no matter what age your child is a reading intervention mentor can address the issues they're facing.
What kinds of skills can an Atlanta reading intervention tutor near me help my student work on?
Generally speaking, the process of learning to read can be broken up into six elements: phoneme awareness, phonics, spelling, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Each of these elements is inextricable from the others, so if your student is having a difficulty with the basics it can negatively impact their ability to develop more advanced reading skills.
Phonemic awareness is the understanding of how individual units of sound can be assembled and rearranged to make up and alter words. When this concept is applied to written language and the sounds that letters and combinations of letters make, it's called phonics. These skills may seem exceedingly simple to adults who have no problem reading, but they can take quite a lot of effort to pick up, especially for students who aren't auditory learners. Atlanta reading intervention tutors can present students with a plethora of ways to approach phonics, from visual methods that employ illustrated flashcards to kinesthetic methods that ask students to use cut-out letters to arrange sounds.
Spelling and vocabulary are interrelated, in a way. They both can be learned directly and indirectly, and ideally, your student should encounter a mix of both kinds of instruction. Direct instruction happens when students are presented with an overt lesson about a word, what it means, how it's spelled, and so on. Indirect instruction happens all the time. Whenever a student sees an unfamiliar word in a book, on a street sign, or even on a restaurant menu, and remembers it, they are engaging in indirect instruction. Atlanta reading intervention tutoring can give you ideas about how you can support both processes at home by making sure that your child has access to a wide range of reading material.
Students are considered to have gained fluency when they can read a passage smoothly and naturally, and understand the intonation of the words in the passage. Rather than having to examine words one by one, they can read the sentence as a whole. When this and all the previous elements come together, students arrive at true comprehension. They can read passages easily, understand all the words, and can form complex opinions about the content of passages. As students become more advanced, comprehension even includes ideas like authorial intent or style, main arguments of passages, subtexts, and the like.
What are the advantages of Atlanta reading intervention tutoring?
Classroom instruction has its downsides. Teachers have to stick to a fixed classroom schedule, which can mean forcing students to move on to new material before they're ready to. They are also required to use a universal curriculum that doesn't always work for all students. One-on-one instruction from Atlanta reading intervention tutors, on the other hand, has none of these restrictions. Tutors can identify the individual issues that your child is having with reading and focus on them, so study time can be used more efficiently and effectively. They can employ written material that relates to subjects that your student is personally interested in to engage them and help them develop a positive relationship with reading. They can also move at a pace that allows your student to fully absorb each concept.
Atlanta reading intervention tutoring can foster an environment where your student feels comfortable talking about and facing their reading challenges, too. Many students who are reading below their grade level are well aware that they're falling behind their peers, and this can be a source of anxiety, embarrassment, and frustration. This can blossom into a full-fledged distaste for school if left unchecked. A private instructor can use their direct relationship with your student and their wealth of experience to make your student feel safe making mistakes and taking risks, which are necessary aspects of learning any subject.
How can I find an Atlanta reading intervention tutor near me?
Varsity Tutors can connect your student with a private mentor quickly and easily. Instruction is offered both online and in person, so you'll have options when you sign up. Online tutoring is provided through our Live Learning Platform, which includes video chat software that lets your child meet their instructor face-to-face.

The platform additionally includes a set of utilities that can make online learning feel just as direct as an in-person meeting. Students can take advantage of a virtual whiteboard, a shared document editor, and more.
