Grace L.

48 Phonics lessons

Ms. C. has been tutoring my two children (6 y.o. boy and 4 y.o. girl) since last summer. My kids love her and follow her lessons every time. My 6 year old's reading skill has improved tremendously. In the beginning he barely read a word, but now he can read a short story. My daughter is starting to learn phonics and she enjoys learning from Ms. C. She begins to get interested in books and likes to imitate how Ms. C reads a story to her.
Heidi C.

22 Phonics lessons

My son had his own cubby and notebook where he recorded all of the new material he learned. She took the time to really know him and even tailored his lessons around. For example, he has a fear/fascination with thunder and weather so she sought out reading passages that involved that. In addition to teaching phonics, she also realized the importance of him learning vital study skills such as highlighting facts in passages and incorporated writing skills.
Shaneika W.

64 Phonics lessons

I have tried all kinds of programs, Hooked on Phonics, Kumon, ABC Mouse, Reading Eggs, and even other tutors. In November 2013, Dominic was diagnosed with Convergence Insufficiency, where his eyes do not “team” well for the purpose of reading. While he seemed to do better with therapy, he was still very much behind with his reading skills. Over the summer (between third and fourth grade), I sought the help of finding a tutor through WzyAnt.
