Find a private reading tutor in Hopatcong

Understanding reading starts with mastering five essential skills.

The foundations cover:

• Phonemic awareness refers to hearing separate sounds in spoken words. This skill comes before letter recognition.
• Phonics: matching letters and letter combinations to their sounds. This allows readers to decode unfamiliar words.
• 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.

These skills work together to create a confident, capable reader.
