Ditto to LT's post Florals, and... I just want to add that I thought you were asking for a tutor to teach English (as an additional language). In terms of literacy, has the teacher at school asked you to work with him? Many young children are simply not developmentally ready to be sound blending let alone reading sentences. Many countries dont start formal reading and writing until 5 for this reason and others as late as 7, and they catch up very quickly. So unless your teacher has made the request then I suggest that perhaps you just relax and expose him to the pre skills that he is ready for (try the starfall alphabet below and then move onto learn to read free when he knows all his letter sounds. You might find that it is fun and not the struggle that you seem to be having teaching him something that he is probably not ready for.

Thanks for your reply. Indeed a very helpful advise. He is getting lesser grade in English. Hence i needed a teacher. I dont have patience to sit with him for studies. And sometimes beat him also. I understand he is very young and he is needs time. He is having prob wen reading small sentences like joining the letters using phonic sounds. regards florals I sincerely hope I am misreading your post, florals, please tell me that "sometimes beat him also" is a language confusion. if not, please, please get yourself some help, it is not your poor child who has a problem, it is you. And, that is not an attack, merely a concerned observation......if you truly do not have patience to sit with him, and "sometimes beat him" then you are not coping well and need help before you seriously damage your child. Fear and impatience are not good educators. <em>edited by Livelytrish on 09/01/2011</em>

Florals, I don't know of anyone that can help you, but I can give you some direction if you could give me a bit more information. Can I ask specifically why you are seeking a teacher - has the school requested it? Formal [b'>teaching[/b'> English is quite a difficult job with children of this age as they don't yet read or write, also, their attentions span is not that long, so unless you can find someone who could give short lessons frequently, you might find that your child loses interest or does not take everything in unless you teacher is dynamic and very experience with this age group. Little and often seems to work best with this age group. Immersion (being around others speaking English) is the best approach. Play dates with other children will help, also listening to children's music in and even tv. There are a lot of great websites that you could work with, with your child. Search for [b'>esl kindergarten[/b'>. Here are some more http://www.starfall.com/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/games/ http://pbskids.org/ http://www.seussville.com/ http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/ http://www.learntoreadfree.com/
