Boston, MA Phonics Tutors

6 years of tutoring through the No Child Left Behind Program with various companies. All companies have to have approved curriculum and that included a focus on phonics. I have several materials, approaches and games that will help student achieve their desired results quickly.

I home schooled my three children for 10 years and understand the Phonics curriculum to help children learn to read.

I teach all levels of phonics, to help early readers and those who may be transitioning from another language, to make English easier

Pronunciation, remedial if needed, Spanish or English

During my time as a teacher I was responsible for teaching reading for 2.5 hours/day. I have a wide range of techniques that I can use to help your child grow their vocabulary, learn their letters, sight words, and phonetic sounds. I have workbooks, worksheets and flashcards that I can bring to assist in learning as well.

I have worked as an ESL intern teaching English to refugees with little understanding of English pronunciation or communication skills. I have a lot of patience when it comes to working with others and I am able to work with individuals on a personal level to help improve their recognition of certain spelling patterns that elicit certain phonetic possibilities. English is very complicated, and vowels can be particularly tricky. Likewise, learning to pronounce initial and final consonants in words can be a useful and necessary skill to develop.

I can work with you using the most basic phonic skills to improve your reading skills.

If you've ever struggled to explain to your child why a word says what it does or is spelled the way it is, please join me for a one hour seminar in Phonics for Parents.

To many emerging readers, English can seem to be a frustrating jumble of exceptions. For nearly a century, many students have been taught grossly oversimplified phonics that generate thousands of exceptions. That approach works for some students, but many struggle - especially rule-following, logical, literal students. Indeed, nearly two thirds of 4th and 8th graders read below grade level.

Thankfully, English follows a deliciously rich and robust code with remarkable consistency - and in fact, fully 98% of English words are phonetically regular. The Phonics for Parents seminar is one hour of intensive instruction designed to give literate adults the tools needed to unlock the code and become a literacy superhero. You'll come away with insights that have left many wondering "how did I not know this before

I am currently working as a 1st grade teacher and I absolutely love my work. I enjoy teaching my students phonic. When I teach a lesson on phonics my students complete a drill. This drill focuses on letter sounds, correctly writing the letter and blending. When students know how to correctly identify and pronounce a letter sound, blending and reading flows naturally.
