Olathe Phonics Tutoring FAQ
All children need to understand phonics before they can understand reading at an elementary school level. One-on-one tutoring in Olathe, KS, can afford your child the ability to fine-tune their phonics skills by asking questions and getting immediate feedback.
Phonics is the skill of putting together isolated sounds of letters (phonemes) and groups of letters into word sounds that are essential to reading effectively. Phonetics is about how speech sounds, while phonics is about applying those sounds to the written words that represent those sounds. Some children understand syllables and valuables but struggle with sound to word matching, or hearing and making rhymes. Those are key reading and writing skills. Most young children struggle with some elements of phonics. All children need to understand how various phonemes translate to written words, and how the written words are supposed to sound when spoken. A child who falls behind in acquiring this skill will definitely struggle with reading and writing.

This systematic approach is a great way to build a solid foundation in reading and writing skills.
