一些科目你的孩子目前正在研究ly feel more counterintuitive to you than phonics. If "see" and "sea" are spelled identically, how is your child supposed to distinguish them? The answer is that phonics is an oversimplification intended to try to help young children learn the basics of reading and writing. There are not enough English letters (26) to assign one to each of the language's 42 phonemes, or sounds, so kids are encouraged by phonics to understand the basics before learning about minor details such as "ph" making an "f" sound. If you're still confused, consider bringing in a private tutor to try to help your child understand phonics. Varsity Tutors can connect you with a qualified phonics tutor up to the task.
An experienced and skilled phonics tutor in San Jose, CA, could teach your child how to best use their study time. If they seem to get long vowel sounds and initial consonant blends, there is no reason to study them when the time is better spent on a potential area of weakness, such as deleted phonemes or odd word out problems. The private setting ensures that your student understands one concept before moving on to the next one. After all, your child is unlikely to notice a deleted phoneme if they are still trying to develop phonemic awareness.
One-on-one tutoring in San Jose can afford your child the ability to fine-tune their phonics skills by asking questions and getting immediate feedback. Some students fear that their peers will make fun of them if they struggle in class, so they pretend to follow along even if they have no idea what is going on. A private tutor will encourage questions in an environment free of unwanted distractions, ensuring that your child gets the help they need. You may also be kept abreast of your child's progress, something that many traditional teachers simply do not have the time to do.
Meeting with your child's tutor will never be a problem if you go through Varsity Tutors. The tutors we recommend have open schedules, which may allow you to freely dictate the when and where of every session without regard for another person's itinerary. If your child plays soccer on Sunday mornings, there will never be a Sunday morning session. Likewise, your ability to choose the location allows you to select how much time you are willing to spend in transit. If you opt for our online meeting option, there won't be any transit at all!
An expert phonics tutor in San Jose could help your child gain the knowledge they need to do well in the course and all future phonics-related courses, including standardized exams like the ACT and CAASPP. Our directors will match you with an excellent phonics tutor in San Jose, CA, who might help your child meet your academic and test score goals. Call us today!
