Private online reading intervention in Portland, OR
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 knows that watching your student struggle with reading and writing can take an emotional toll, and we'd be glad to have the opportunity to connect you with a Portland reading intervention tutor who can assist your student in becoming more comfortable with literacy.
Reading can play a role in many aspects of your student's scholastic experience, from reading out loud in class to interpreting homework directions and working out word problems in math, so it's important that students become capable readers as soon as possible. No matter what age your student is, a private instructor can deliver lessons that are tuned to your child's unique struggles.
What skills can a Portland reading intervention tutor near me teach my child?
Reading can be generally broken into six elements: phoneme awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, spelling, and comprehension. Each aspect of reading plays a role in your child's overall ability to understand written texts, so it's crucial that they have a solid understanding of each of these skills.
Phoneme awareness is the ability to identify the individual sounds and syllables that make up speech. Phonics is the application of this process to written text. Phonics can be challenging for many children to pick up, and a shaky grasp on this basic element of reading can have a significant impact on your student's ability to develop more advanced skills. Portland reading tutors can employ a variety of methods to help your student pick up phonics, like illustrated flashcards to appeal to visually oriented students, or spoken word games to help auditory learners associate sounds with written characters.
Fluency is the ability to read a passage as smoothly and quickly as though it were being spoken out loud, with an understanding of the natural intonation of the words. It involves the ability to interpret the overall meaning of text rather than deciphering words one at a time. By presenting your student with passages that relate to subjects they're personally interested in, Portland reading intervention tutors can make it easier for your students to stay focused on the learning process and having reading.
Vocabulary and spelling are somewhat should both be taught with a combination of direct and indirect exposure. Direct exposure occurs when a teacher or reading tutor presents your student with a word, describes its meaning and how it's used, and teaches your child how to spell it. Indirect learning occurs whenever your child comes across a new word in a storybook or on a storefront. Portland reading intervention tutoring can help your student become more adept at identifying how words are used in context.
Comprehension is a complex process that involves the integration of all of these reading components. Students comprehend written works when they can formulate an idea about the entirety of a complete text. As students get older and become more proficient readers, this extends to skills like identifying arguments and tone.
What are the benefits of Portland reading intervention tutoring?
Classroom teachers generally use a one-size-fits-all approach that can leave some students behind and have to keep up with a predetermined teaching schedule. The one-on-one attention of Portland reading intervention tutors can remedy these issues. Your student can receive a customized curriculum that targets the individual difficulties that they're experiencing with reading and writing. They can also work at their own pace, so they can spend as much time as necessary working on a tough concept before they move on.
Private instruction allows tutors to form a trusting relationship with their students, which can improve their ability to learn. Many students who have difficulty reading are aware they're not keeping up with classmates and experience embarrassment, anxiety, and frustration that can impede their performance. They may even become negatively inclined towards school. A Portland reading intervention tutor can foster a safe learning environment for your student, where they can become comfortable making the mistakes that are inevitable when learning a new skill, learn more efficiently, and boost their confidence.
