Kids In Mind Tutoring

Early, systematic, explicit phonics instruction is an essential part, but only part, of a balanced, comprehensive reading program. Phonics and other word-identification skills are tools that children need to read for information, for enjoyment, and for developing insights. The intensity and form of phonics instruction must be adjusted to the individual needs of children by a well-prepared teacher. John J. Pikulski International Reading Associaton President 19971998

Help your child improve their Reading skills with Phonics. In order for young readers to become better readers it is important that the Phonics instruction they receive be both direct and systematic. This is because phonics knowledge aids in the development of word recognition. Word recognition, in turn, increases fluency. Reading fluency, then, improves reading comprehension since children are not struggling with decoding and are able to devote their full attention to making meaning from text.
