Pasadena Phonics Tutoring FAQ
Learning to read is among the most important experiences your child could have in school. It is a complex process. Reading involves many skills, and the study of phonics is not one that can be skipped. Phonics is the connection between sounds and letters. By knowing how letters, or groupings of them, sound, your child can sound out, or decode, words. This process should get easier and faster as your student learns, so they can sound out even unfamiliar words as they read. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors can help your child connect with phonics tutors in Pasadena, CA. They will strive to ensure that your child is picking up the material as expected.
Per the Common Core Standards, and the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, your child is expected to reach specific milestones at their grade level. Their tutor can use various approaches to get there. For example, odd word out, phoneme deletion, and word to word matching are strategies that can help your student learn. The instructor can also use sound to word matching and final consonant blends. A personal phonics tutor in Pasadena might make a world of difference in your student's grades and confidence. They can identify exact weaknesses, and then create targeted, customized study plans in their one-on-one instruction.
Varsity Tutors will connect your child with an experienced and trusted phonics tutor in Pasadena, who will be their best match. Not only will the tutor work with your child's learning style, but also their schedule. This flexibility enables the tutor to set up a lesson despite your child have a full set of classes and after school activities. Evening or weekend lessons may be best. Your child might be comfortable learning at home, or prefer the sanctuary of a library. Tutors have another option as well - they can meet face-to-face online, using a live learning platform to guide the instructional process. Your student can learn phonics just as well remotely as in person!
The assignments, materials, and quizzes used during tutoring will be matched exactly to your child's phonics level. These can be adapted along the way, but any areas of confusion will be directly addressed at your student's pace. An expert phonics tutor in Pasadena, CA, will give your student the chance to learn concepts slowly and gradually, until they thoroughly comprehend the subject.
