San Marcos Phonics Tutoring FAQ
What is phonics? Basically, it's the relationship between sounds and letters. Reading instruction that's based on phonics is one of the most effective methods for teaching young kids how to read and spell words. This is done by introducing the students to a series of rules related to spelling. Then, they are taught how to apply phonetics to decode words based on how they're spelled. Phonetics is how a combination of letters sound when spoken out loud.
In other words, phonics breaks down the written language so that it's in the simplest set of components possible. Without phonics, many students will never learn to read properly. An enthusiastic phonics tutor in San Marcos connected with you by Varsity Tutors could help make your educational process more efficient, more enjoyable, and less stressful.
Not only do students need phonics to learn to read and write, it's an important part of standardized tests, such as the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness test, also known as STAAR. Students are tested on five core subjects, including the reading and writing sections. Without the ability to sound out words using phonics, your child could have a hard time scoring high on tests like these.
A phonics tutor could help your child understand the various predictable patterns throughout the English language. The tutor will teach your child how to interpret words while reading, and spell words while writing. This increases the chances that the student in your life will actually comprehend what's being read. The Varsity Tutors educational directors are happy to try to help you locate an independent phonics tutor in San Marcos to get the job done.
Some of the things your child needs to know about phonics include phoneme deletion, phoneme segmentation, phoneme counting, deleted phoneme, word to word matching, and sound to word matching. Your child's phonics tutor may use flash cards, letter games, word games, rhyming, word manipulation, and other engaging tools to teach phonics concepts in a hierarchical, systematic order. Help your young one get on the path to understanding in a phonics course with the help of an expert tutor in San Marcos, TX, today.
Your child can learn all about phonics from a tutor right at home, or other location of convenience. The tutor we connect you with will work at a time that's convenient for you and your student, and even provides online, face-to-face tutoring.
