Summer Tutoring Keeps Your Child Ahead of the Game

Spelling and Reading go hand in hand, but it can be frustrating when you have a child that can read but has trouble spelling? I can assure you that you are not alone. But how does that happen? There are several reasons for this, but I will only focus on one for now. Spelling is actually an auditory exercise that uses the skill of being able to isolate sounds and accuratley identify the letter that makes it. There may not even seem like a process to those of us who can spell, but that is because it is automatic. We are at the stage where where we have mastered identifying sounds in a word at a rapid pace. For children who struggle in this area, they may have issues isolating sounds in words. Being able to isolate sounds mean you have the ability to break apart a word orally. Phonics devoted to this particular skill can definitely help a child grow in this area. Take a tour of the rest of my site and see how you can receive a free assessment to find out why your child is not growing in this area.
