Tip - Tutoring Strategies for the Primary Grades

In grades one through three – the primary grades – children learn about language and literacy through exploration.Within this age group, children's reading and writing skills vary greatly. A few children will enter first grade able to read with considerable fluency. Some children will learn to read and write with ease. Others need the one-on-one attention of a tutor to develop an understanding of basic concepts, build specific skills, gain confidence, and become motivated to read and write.
