PHONICS SUMMER TUITION
Phonics is an invaluable skill for children to learn as it fast tracks their ability to read and spell. Written language can be compared to a code, so knowing the sounds and the sound combinations helps children to decode words as they read.
Knowing phonics also helps children decide what letters to use as they write, therefore spelling is improved.

Don't let your kids get the "Summer Brain Drain" ! LIMAVADY TUTORING IS OPEN THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER! Ring 077254 03002 The summer brain drain is another term for the loss of learning over the summertime. Kip McGrath explains that, "Extensive studies show that children, who are fluent readers and who love to read for fun during the summer holidays, may actually improve their literacy skills. However, children with less fluent reading skills and who never read during the long break can actually regress by two months. In mathematics, the learning loss is even greater across the board and students can lose up to 2.6 months in mathematical skills each summer."
