Find a private reading tutor in Germantown

Understanding reading starts with mastering five essential skills.

The foundations cover:

• Phonemic awareness means recognizing individual sounds within words. It's the first step toward decoding text.
• Phonics teaches the relationship between letters and sounds. It's essential for decoding text accurately.
• Fluency means reading with speed, accuracy, and expression. It frees up mental energy for comprehension.
• Vocabulary and comprehension: knowing word meanings and understanding what the text says. Together they turn reading into real understanding.

With these skills in place, more advanced reading becomes easier.
