Kansas City Reading Tutoring FAQ
If you feel your child could benefit from some additional reading assistance, Varsity Tutors can get you connected with helpful Kansas City reading tutors. Reading is a skill that can impact every area of learning for your child so it is important to develop this skill early and offer helpful intervention quickly if needed. Regardless of what grade or reading stage your child is struggling in, we can find you the right resource to help.
What reading concepts can Kansas City reading tutors near me help my child with?
There are many aspects to confident reading that your child will be faced with throughout their years in school. From the reading fundamentals to more advanced literacy skills, your child will need a good base of reading knowledge to continue moving through their reading courses. This is why early intervention can be vital for a child that is challenged by reading. Let's take a closer look at the concepts that can be covered by Kansas City reading tutors.
During your child's early reading development, they may practice letter recognition and sound, recognizing common words, phonological awareness, and early fluency. These skills are important for a child to be able to advance their reading skills later on. In Kansas City reading tutoring sessions, your child's instructor can use different engaging activities, such as writing letters in different sensory materials, like sand or shaving cream, to help your child practice letter recognition and sound or flashcards can be used to practice skills such as common word recognition.
For a student who is working on reading comprehension and fluency in later grade levels, Kansas City tutors can help by having them read grade-appropriate materials out loud during their sessions. This can help your child receive instant feedback on words that are being pronounced incorrectly, work on appropriate expression and reading rate, and build confidence in their reading skills. Kansas City reading tutoring sessions give your child a safe and private environment to work through their challenges.
A student who is working through informational reading skills, usually during their middle school years, will need to learn concepts such as analyzing text, integrating the information presented in different media or formats, and determining central ideas of texts. Kansas City tutors can help your student work through these concepts and more, including helping them find the best way to break down paragraphs or sections of a text to analyze the central idea, how to determine the meaning of words and phrases in context, and how to compare and contrast different works based on the same subject.
A student who is struggling with reading at a high school level may need some additional help with analyzing complex character development, determining a theme or central idea of a text, and determining figurative and connotative meanings. Kansas City tutoring can help your student with concepts such as how the language evokes a sense of time and place and sets the tone, analyzing the author's structure choices, and how to draw from other readings to create the big picture.
How can Kansas City reading tutoring benefit my child?
There are numerous unique advantages to working with Kansas City reading tutors. One of these notable advantages is allowing your student the ability to have control over the pace of their learning. Unlike the typical classroom setting that requires the teacher to work through a set curriculum, there is no rush to get through any concept with private instruction. If your student needs some extra time to get a thorough understanding of topics that they find particularly tricky, such as letter recognition or reading comprehension, the lesson plans can be adjusted to accommodate that.
Another excellent benefit is the opportunity for your student to focus solely on their reading goals. When your child is their instructor's main focus, it can allow the instructor the opportunity to get to know their areas of strength, their interests, and the concepts that are extra challenging to them and they can use that information to customize each lesson plan to help your child make the most of the time they have together.
Each lesson plan is flexible, so if the student progresses quickly in any of the topics, their lesson plans can be adapted quickly to reflect the progress made. They can incorporate activities and materials that work with your child's individual learning method. For example, flashcards or sight word practice can be used for a visual learner and oral reading practice can be used for audio learners.
What options do I have to fit Kansas City reading tutoring sessions into our schedule?
If you are already balancing a busy schedule that could include work commitments, family time, school schedules, and extracurriculars, it can seem difficult to make the time for private tutoring sessions. However, with convenient in-person and online options, we can find you the best Kansas City reading tutors to meet your needs and availability. Online instruction offers the additional convenience of allowing your child to log in to their sessions from wherever they are, without needing to fit an extra commute into your already busy day.
With online Kansas City reading tutoring sessions, your child can log in to our Live Learning Platform from your home or another favorite quiet study spot, such as an area cafe or the Plaza Branch of The Kansas City Public Library. Once your student is logged in, they can utilize helpful features such as video chat, virtual whiteboards, and shared document editors to engage in live, interactive lesson plans with their Kansas City reading tutors. They have the ability to ask questions as they arise and get answers that they understand and that help them move forward.
If you or your child would like to review any of the previous lesson plans, you can easily do so. Each session is recorded so you can go back and watch the recordings in between your regularly scheduled sessions. This can also be a helpful resource for you, as well, so you can go back and review the techniques that helped your child learn so you can incorporate them when you help them with reading practice or homework.
