Pre-Kindergarten & Kindergarten Tutoring

What Parents Can Do to Prepare Their Child for Kindergarten

It’s important to keep in mind that all kids respond differently to entering kindergarten. Some kindergarteners may struggle with the adjustment to longer days, being away from home, and being in a structured school setting.

Whether your child attended pre-school or has been home with a parent or caregiver, following these tips will help your student start kindergarten on the right foot.

Private Kindergarten Readiness Tutoring

Each child develops at a unique pace, but there are certain social and academic skills that are accepted as standard for kindergarteners. Use the kindergarten readiness checklist below to determine which skills your child has already mastered and which you should spend time working on during the summer. Remember that children learn through play, so you can work on developing these skills during summer playtime. 

If you’re worried your kindergartener (or pre-kindergartener) is behind, Huntington offers private kindergarten readiness tutoring programs to help children master the foundational skills they’ll need throughout school. Our 1:1 or small group tutoring options help children with beginning reading, writing, math and more. 

Kindergarten Reading Tutoring

While kindergarteners are not yet readers, they are learning the fundamentals to learn how to read. This includes learning letters (both uppercase and lowercase), learning which letters make which sounds (phonics), and starting to learn simple sight words. Having confidence in these skills allows kindergarteners to proceed with confidence into learning how to read. When children struggle with these concepts, it can be time to enlist a kindergarten reading tutor.  

Kindergarten reading tutors help children either one on one or in small groups, making sure that each child has the individualized attention they need to succeed.  

Kindergarten Math Tutoring

Like reading, kindergarten teaches the fundamentals children will use every day for the rest of their lives. Starting to understand and identify numbers, learning to count, and learning very basic addition and subtraction are key concepts kindergarteners work to master. If children struggle or have doubts about these skills they are likely to compound heading into higher grades. Huntington’s kindergarten math tutors work with children to develop and master these concepts. This helps provide a necessary foundation for future learning.
