Free Reading Tutorials for Children

Fact Monster's Language Arts Homework Center

Look no further than the language arts homework center from Fact Monster for free reading tutorials, games and activities covering a number of skills and topics. Fact Monster's language arts homework center is divided into a few main categories: grammar, spelling, literature, authors, poetry and poets. There are also numerous subcategories that you and your child can use to narrow your search. If you select literature, for example, you'll be taken to page with literary terms and definitions, books, online story collections and more.

Video Tutorials from Discovery Education

If your child learns well visually, then the K-12 video tutorials from Discovery Education may be just what he or she needs. Although there are a few tutorials focused on writing, the tutorials about grammar and mechanics will probably be more helpful for improving your child's reading skills. The topics covered by these videos include colons and semicolons, nouns, verbs, capitalization, conjunctions and double negatives.

Free Online Tutoring Services from Learn to Be

Sometimes, working independently may not be enough for your child. If this is the case, you and your child might consider trying the free language arts online tutoring services from the Learn to Be Foundation. From nine in the morning until nine at night, Learn to Be provides free tutoring services to any child who needs it with no appointment needed and no questions asked. The tutors are all pre-screened and certified.

During a session, your child will access what's called a 'virtual whiteboard'. This whiteboard acts as the main communication tool between your child and the tutor. It can be used to write, draw and upload documents. Any tutoring session that your child completes is saved and can then be re-used as a reading tutorial any time he or she needs to access it.
