Evanston Phonics Tutoring FAQ
Phonics is an essential skill children need to develop in order to understand the written word and become proficient in reading. It allows children to decode individual letters and understand how they work together to form complex sounds. Studying what sounds letters represent, and then understanding the words represented by the combination of letters, forms the basis of this indispensable ability. By understanding phonics, your child can develop the reading skills they need to succeed in school and in life. If your student needs a helping hand in phonics, the Varsity Tutors educational directors can find an expert phonics tutor in Evanston, IL, to help them realize their potential in their classes.
