...subject to tutor, as the progress has tangible results: a few points more on a standardized test that translates into more scholarships and better chances for admission into more schools.

Overland Park Phonics Tutoring FAQ
Do you have a child or children in elementary school? If so, you have likely heard the word "phonics" at least once. You might wonder about what exactly that word means, and how it pertains to your child's education. Phonics describes the relationship between the sounds and the spelling of a word. It allows for a child to learn how to sound out a word and know how to spell it by how it sounds. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors are happy to try to help you find an independent, professional phonics tutor in Overland Park, KS.
Phonics is important because it not only helps a child understand how a word is spelled, but also helps them understand and comprehend what they read. Phonics is just one strategy to help a child learn to read better. Your child's tutor can work with them to develop a clear understanding of phonics, and how it can help them in school with reading and understanding text. Your child's tutor can work with them one-on-one, in a quiet setting, with no outside distractions. Your child would be connected with a highly skilled tutor, who encourages them in engaging sessions focused on phonics, making the concept easier to understand and helping them retain the information. Your child's tutor can also meet for online sessions if they are more convenient for your family. Contact Varsity Tutors' educational directors for help connecting with phonics tutors near Overland Park. Sessions can be scheduled with you and your child at days and times of the week that work best for you.
When your child is learning how phonics can help them, one aspect of this process is called decoding. Children need to look at not only the visual cues of the word itself, but also how the sentence may be structured and how the words are in order within the sentence. There are also several strategies within the phonics instruction that your child's tutor may use to help them grasp reading better. For example, word-to-word matching or blending of sounds can help a child with words that start with the same letter or blend the sounds of each separate letter and put them together. The tutor may ask your child to delete or match a phoneme to help them see the word differently and figure out what that word might be. An experienced phonics tutor in Overland Park, KS, can pinpoint your student's problem areas and get them working towards success in the course.
Your child's tutor can work to come up with a learning outline for their phonics instruction. This could help you and your child come up with goals for each session, and allow for the tutor and your child to focus on problem areas or words, so your child might become more confident as they work together to understand the concept of phonics. For help understanding your child's phonics course in Overland Park, contact Varsity Tutors.
