Find a private reading tutor in Stafford

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 connects written letters to spoken sounds. Learners use it to sound out new words.
• Fluency is the ability to read text smoothly and with expression. It bridges decoding and understanding.
• Vocabulary and comprehension let readers grasp both individual words and the overall message. Both grow through regular reading practice.

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