TIPS FOR TUTORS
What are some strategies for helping your learner overcome reading challenges?
Let’s dive in!
1️⃣ Break Down Complex Words
When encountering difficult words, break them down into smaller syllables. Sound out each part. Help your learner understand the individual sounds and how they come together to form the word. This step-by-step approach makes tackling challenging words less intimidating.
2️⃣ Use Context Clues
Teach your learner to use the context of the sentence or paragraph to understand unfamiliar words. Encourage them to look for clues within the text, such as surrounding words, punctuation, or the overall meaning of the passage. This contextual understanding aids in comprehension and vocabulary development.
3️⃣ Practice Reading Aloud
Engage in shared reading sessions where you take turns reading aloud. This practice lets your learner hear proper pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation. It also allows you to model fluent reading and offer guidance as needed.
With your patience and confidence guidance, you’re helping your learner overcome reading challenges and build the skills needed for a lifetime of reading success.
You’re not just breaking down words – you’re breaking down barriers and empowering individuals through literacy.
Keep up the fantastic work!
