Fostering a Love for Reading Through Expert Tutoring

Tutoring Help For Elementary School Reading

Strong reading skills are foundational to learning. They enable students to learn independently, absorb information across various topics, and enjoy reading. In the early elementary years, children transition from “learning to read” to “reading to learn.” Fluent reading improves performance in all school subjects by allowing children to focus on content and instructions. Strong reading skills are essential for academic success throughout the school years.

Elementary students begin with basic reading skills, including vocabulary, spelling, and phonics. Reading tutoring helps children sound out words, build a strong vocabulary, and master spelling. As they progress to higher elementary grades, tutoring supports reading comprehension, word meaning, critical thinking, and forming opinions about stories.

 

Individualized Tutoring To Improve Skills In Elementary Reading

Reading

Building a strong reading foundation is crucial for school success throughout your child’s academic career. Tutoring builds skills in:

  • Letter formation
  • Sound recognition
  • Sight words
  • Reading comprehension
    • Main idea
    • Following directions
    • Retaining details
    • Drawing conclusions
  • Reading rate
  • Critical thinking skills

Spelling

Strong spelling skills improve reading and writing fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Learning to spell reinforces the connection between letters and sounds, while learning high-frequency sight words enhances both reading and writing. Tutoring builds skills in:

  • Plurals
  • Compound words
  • Phonetic rules
  • Word endings
  • Syllabication

Vocabulary

A strong vocabulary helps students become better readers and writers. As readers, they won’t stumble over unfamiliar words. As writers, they can choose words to express themselves clearly. Tutoring builds skills in:

  • Word recognition
  • Word meaning
  • Understanding words in context
  • Multiple meanings for words
  • Homonyms

Phonics

Phonics teaches the relationship between letters and sounds, essential for learning to read and spell. Knowing letter sounds and combinations helps children decode words as they read. Tutoring builds skills in:

  • Letter recognition
  • Consonants (e.g. B, C, D, F)
  • Vowels (e.g. A, E, I, O, U)
  • Digraphs (e.g., CH, SH)
  • Diphthongs (e.g., OI, OY)
  • Blends (e.g., ST, SPL)
