My comments on tutoring Elementary Reading : I helped as a volunteer for Second Creek Elementary school in my daughter's classroom. I would often help 1 - 5 children at a separate table with their classroom work. There were often times where each child needed help learning how to read their book, or instruction's on their worksheet, as well as write their names and words. I would help the child sound the words out, and read sentences. I would congratulate the child on a job well done. Working each day with these children made a difference, and soon they were able to sound the words out, and read some of the sentences on their own! They also learned how to write their names, and words to help build sentences. It's a great feeling to see a child smile, run up to you, and say "I did it!".

Never make the child feel uncomfortable or frustrated. Reading and writing takes time, and with patience and understanding, along with encouragement, and praise, a child can learn to read and write with confidence.
