About Learning to Read with Phonics

What is phonics?

Phonics is a method for teaching reading and writing by developing learners’ phonemic awareness. Phonics is absolutely essential for helping children begin to read. Once the code of reading has been cracked through phonics, children will then have the ability to explore the length and breadth of literacy as a whole. Phonics has proven time and again to be the most effective way to get children reading early.

Why is phonics important?

Phonics helps your child learn to read and spell. Without this ability, your child cannot be fully literate. Words are like codes and phonics teaches children how to crack the reading code. Phonics is therefore an important part of any reading development program.

When is the best time to learn?

It is often best to start learning to read through phonics from preschool to 2nd grade or from about ages 3 to 8.

Why start so early?

Research has shown that children who have not developed reading skills by second grade, will experience an overall delay in learning throughout their school life.

Here are the top 10 benefits of tutoring services that are well worth your time to consider:

1. Personal Tuition:
Each student is afforded the type of personalized attention that simply cannot be found in schools. Working with a private tutor will afford you the assurance that your tutors’ focus is entirely on what you are struggling with. This enables the tutor to get to the core difficulties far quicker than when in a classroom. Foundations of work that have not been correctly explained and thus not wholly implemented may be returned to and re-explained. This encourages a student to understand exactly what they are learning and will begin to feel more relaxed and confident as they recognise their own progress.

2. Become the master of your own study techniques:
One of the great benefits of a tutor is that they are educated, enthusiastic and experienced. These three attributes will be to your advantage as your tutor is able to impart wisdom and skills that will boost your studies and results. Your private tutor can show you how to practice better time management, ordering of work and how to answer questions in the best way possible. As so many students lack in their ability to answer questions in the correct format, the aid of a tutor will significantly improve and fine tune these and many other issues.

3. Positive work Environment:
Teaching has become a highly stressful form of employment and the passion that was initially there, is lost as the pressure of marking, deadlines, planning as well as teaching many subjects seriously curbs a teachers’ enthusiasm for their work. How can students be expected to get excited about what they are learning when subjects are being taught in a harried manner? One of the benefits of tutoring is that each tutor has a love for what they teach and a desire to help others grow within themselves. Private tutor lessons will open your mind to knowledge in a way far superior to that of regular schooling. An individual who is truly excited about the subject they teach has a stronger impact on your learning, as subjects that were once dull and taught in one single, monotonous way, are now given new light and found to be interesting.

4. Increased Self Confidence:
We all want to do well at school and have a positive experience throughout our fundamental years of education. However, this is sadly not always the case. An astounding number of students are battling with their studies and thus battling with their self esteem. Under performing in school leaves students feeling inadequate in the classroom and with their friends. A lack of self confidence more often than not spills over into other areas of a student’s life as there is a constant reminder of the battle that schoolwork has become. Most students do not feel entirely comfortable asking questions in class as they fear what their peers may think of them. Thus, issues are left unanswered and this spirals into further stress and dismay when tests and exams are looming. Being able to boost one’s self-esteem is of key importance and one of our top benefits of private tutoring.

5. Best Tutor Match:
One of the major benefits of tutoring services is the choice of tutor. At school students do not have a choice as to who they are taught by and this can seriously impact on their results as well as their personal experience within the classroom. A large amount of students perform poorly in certain subjects due to personality clashes with teachers, which has a direct negative impact on their work. When selecting a private tutor, you have the choice of who you want to work with. As tutors are passionate about what they do it is easy to find the tutor best suited to your needs. By working with someone you genuinely get along with, work becomes less of a chore and more of a mutual bonding experience. The tutor is able to understand the students’ needs and offer constant positive reinforcement.

6. Improved Test & Exam Scores:
A private tutor can provide a student with the edge over their peers when preparing for tests and exams. Private tuition enables students to work smarter and achieve more in a shorter space of time. With a private tutor to guide them, students are able to work on specific problem areas and correct them far quicker than when struggling by themselves. A tutor will work at building strengths and tackling weaknesses well in time for tests and exams. For those students who require intense practice, a tutor will ensure that enough work is covered and revisited to address problem areas.

Private tutors work with students through previous exam papers and provide helpful tips and tricks for eliminating difficulties and stumbling blocks in exam papers. A student’s marks will improve momentously when working with a private tutor and they will no longer feel inadequate next to their peers.

7. Peace of Mind for Parents:
With the hectic schedules that parents have it is often extremely difficult to make the time to help their children with homework and test preparation. Even when one can find the time to assist your child, they have usually had a long day with extra mural activities and it just does not seem possible to concentrate after 8pm at night. This, more often than not, results in an argument between parent and child and leaves the parent feeling guilty. The best thing that one can do is ensure that their child’s school work is afforded the attention it deserves. Rest assured as the benefits of private tutoring work with your schedule and enable your child to work in a highly effective manner that will give your family time to relax and enjoy each other in the evenings.

8. Freedom to Ask Questions:
As the classroom is so competitive, students do not feel comfortable to ask questions in front of their peers. They fear ridicule as well as under performing alongside their friends. Private tuition creates freedom to ask questions, big or small, as students feel they are in a safe environment. A private tutor will understand exactly what the student is trying to grasp and provide them the support they need, without feeling embarrassed or self conscious.

9. Promotes Responsibility:
With the help of a private tutor, students will learn to take responsibility for their studies through realizing their own personal growth. As their marks start to improve students recognize their own individual skill set and feel motivated to continue with their hard work. As their dedication and commitment becomes evident students begin to comprehend the importance of applying themselves. This is a very important attribute for young adults to develop for their futures.

10. Continuous Feedback:
Parent – teacher meetings are usually once a term, if that often. The 10 – 15 minutes that parents are given to sit down with their child’s teacher is simply not long enough to discuss important issues that are vital to academic performance. A private tutor will provide continuous feedback as the student progresses. Not only is there a constant open flow of communication, but a tutor will be completely honest with their opinion. Direct communication is so important as parents should be kept in the know about their child’s success as well as struggles, in order for them to help their children grow. Through the benefits of a private tutor, a positive rappor is built between the tutor and student. The tutor will also foresee serious problems and alert parents before there is cause for serious concern.

There are a myriad of reasons why private tuition has become such a key element to students’ education. We have named only the top 10 benefits of tutoring to ensure your child’s success.

7 Ways to Help Kids Transition Back to the Classroom

With summer winding down, the new school year begins. Here are some tips and activities to ease kids’ transition back to the classroom and to help prepare them for the new school year.

1.Get student records organized: Before the school year ramps up, try to schedule whatever medical appointments may be needed, and finish any applications that may be needed for health and nutrition programs.

2.Remember to read: While summer may have meant a more relaxed routine, try to set aside time to read with your kids.

3.Be there to ease transitions: Starting a new school or moving from one grade to the next, for example, moving from elementary to middle school, can mean adjustments for kids—new route to school, new schedule, or new classmates. Try to assist in the transition by visiting the school with younger kids before classes start, maintaining routines at home for a sense of a familiar environment, or attending any parent orientation the school provides. Get tips for talking to kids about changes and coping with stress. Keep the lines of communication open and listen to your child.

4.Support homework: Show kids that homework is a priority. Establishing a standard time and maintaining a schedule can help. Determine a routine place for your child to do homework—a desk or the kitchen table. Try to keep it uncluttered, but have supplies they may need, like pencils, a ruler, and scissors handy in a drawer or a basket.

5. Pack nutritious lunches and snacks: Following dietary guidelines can help ensure your child has the proper nutrition to perform well in school. Promote a healthy, active lifestyle by encouraging kids to help with packing their lunch or trying a new recipe with nutritious ingredients.

6. Stay active: With the return of school can come more time spent indoors, but don’t forget to keep physical activity a part of the daily schedule. Staying active and getting the wiggles out can help your child focus on homework and relieve stress.

7. Try a new extracurricular activity: Afterschool programs are a way for kids to form new friendships, develop teamwork skills, and improve academic proficiencies. Look into programs that may be offered at your child’s school that could help your child explore a new hobby or discover a new passion. Is he interested in music, theater, or soccer? Is she curious about chess, robots, or world languages?

It’s that time — time for our kids to load up their backpacks, don their new threads, and head back to school. It can be a hard transition going from the freedom of summer to the structure of being a full-time student. But you know what? It’s worth it. There is nothing like getting a good education. It gives our children a foundation for the rest of their lives.
