Reading is at the heart of your child’s educational growth. Young children who develop early literacy skills have larger vocabularies and have greater chances of academic success in life. If you want to ensure your child is reading at or above their age level, a private reading tutor can make this crucial difference.

Why Hire a Reading Tutor for Your Child?

1. Ensures They Understand the Fundamentals

Your child’s preschool teacher has a curriculum to follow. While their goal is for each child to master each exercise, they don’t always have time to make sure each child is fully confident in the subject matter before moving on. For some young minds, this isn’t enough time to develop a full understanding of the basics (such as reading phonetic words like “cat”), before moving on to more advanced concepts (like silent letters). A reading tutor can teach these early concepts in greater depth to ensure your child has a complete grasp of the fundamental skills.

2. Provides One-on-One Attention

Most preschool classes have a small teacher-to-student ratio, which allows the staff to pay attention to your child’s personal and academic needs. However, since there are other children in the classroom, the teaching staff’s focus is still divided. 

A reading tutor provides your child with undivided attention in a personal environment. This cuts out all distractions that might cause them to lose focus. It also allows them to create a unique study program that caters to your child’s particular learning style. 

3. Keeps Them Motivated

Young children almost always prefer to play than master word recognition. Making the subject interesting is the best way to help them develop their skills without quitting out of frustration. Reading tutors build on the lessons preschool teachers try to implement, but they try to do so in a way that engages the child. For instance, they might let your child pick the books they read, act out the stories, and find connections between the characters and real life.
