FAQs

📝 What are the main building blocks of reading?

Learning to read starts with five foundations that work together to unlock meaning.

  • Phonemic awareness and phonics: hearing the separate sounds in spoken words, then linking letters to those sounds so you can decode new words like "ship".
  • Fluency: being able to read a passage accurately without stopping at every single word.
  • Vocabulary: knowing what words mean, which grows through stories, conversation and regular reading.
  • Comprehension: turning the words on the page into ideas you can explain in your own words.

A reading tutor can test each skill, then target the gaps with short and fun exercises.

💰 What is the cost of reading lessons in Randburg?

The average cost of reading lessons in Randburg is around R212/h.

Several factors influence the price:

  • Level: the learner's age and current reading level.
  • Experience: the tutor's qualifications and teaching background.
  • Frequency: the number of lessons booked each week.
  • Format: where the lessons take place.

Comparing several profiles helps you find the best value.

📖 How do you teach someone to read step by step?

You can help a reader progress by following a short, structured routine each time.

  • Assess first: listen to the learner read a short passage aloud and note which words cause trouble.
  • Teach sounds and words: work on phonics with simple games, such as building words from letter cards.
  • Read together: take turns reading a story at the right level, and pause to correct mistakes kindly.
  • Check understanding: get the learner to retell the text in their own words, then praise their effort.

Private lessons give struggling readers the calm, individual attention a busy classroom cannot offer.

Getting Children Reading in Randburg

In Randburg, we are encouraging children to fall in love with reading again. While all children understand that reading is essential to achieve academic goals, we need to ensure that children are reading for the love of it and that we are helping them build confidence in their reading skills as well.

It is important to get children to fall in love with reading from the foundation phase. The beauty of reading classes is that they are good for children of all ages. If we provide reading support to our children from an early age, reading can be an unbelievably thrilling process for all of our children.

Children who overcome reading difficulties fall in love with the idea of reading. However, just as much as we should encourage children to read, we should make our reading tutors better at teaching reading too. If primary school tutors in South Africa are better at teaching reading and know which programmes to use to teach reading, students will be able to gain the necessary reading skills as well.

To improve your child's reading skills, you don't need to enrol them in a reading study centre,  you can simply rope in the right reading tutor.

How Can a Tutor Provide Reading Support?

Tutors help scholars overcome reading difficulties as they can identify where the problem lies. If phonics is the problem, tutors can go back and address any phonetic problems that the child may have. Tutors can also identify the learners preferred learning style and can teach them accordingly.

If the aspect of reading the learner is struggling with is that of reading comprehension, the tutor can structure lessons that focus on improving comprehension skills too. Tutors are also well-versed with the requirements in terms of reading and comprehension for each grade and can structure reading classes for children of different ages.
