Rockville Phonics Tutoring FAQ
Phonics is the application of speech sounds to written language. It is used to decode and comprehend the written language. It is a valuable subject because it has a major impact on determining how well your child understands written English. If your child is having difficulty with decoding, syllables, blending, or single consonants it may be time to connect them with a private phonics tutor. If they do not learn to understand written English, it will likely have a negative impact on their future. For assistance in helping your child understand their phonics course in Rockville contact Varsity Tutors.
We can find your child a professional phonics tutor in Rockville, MD, who can try to help them meet their goals for the course. English is one of the hardest languages to learn because unlike other languages, it has 42 phonemes or sounds for 26 letters. This is uncommon because most languages have the same amount of phonemes and letters or they add in accent marks to differentiate between different letters. So if your child is having trouble learning English, it is perfectly understandable. A
An experienced and skilled phonics tutor in Rockville, MD, could teach your child how to best use their study time. One of the reasons your child may be struggling with learning English is that many students who have trouble reading only use one reading strategy. This limits the amount of information you are receiving, which makes it more difficult to comprehend. A skilled and experienced private phonics tutor could help your child identify and utilize additional reading strategies.
One of the great ways for your child to try to improve their English skills is by practicing. But many students who struggle with reading try to avoid it. Your child's private tutor can assist them in developing confidence in their reading ability. Their tutor can also identify their interests and find reading material that aligns with them. This will keep them engaged and more interested in practicing their reading.
Each of the independent phonics tutors that Varsity Tutors can help your child find in Rockville is an experienced professional. Your child's tutor is able to meet them either in person or face-to-face online. Their tutor is also available to meet them at a time and location that works best for you and your child. So if your child prefers studying at your house, at Welsh Park, at Bubble Tea cafe, or at the Rockville Memorial Library, their tutor can meet them there.
