  Case: Sight Words
I teach kindergarten and sight words are an important part of our instruction. We must have the support of our parents to keep this going. We try to help each child reach the 100 sight word club but many students do not have the help at home they need. It is a difficult problem. It is not fair to the students when it is their parents that are not helping them. How can we motivate our parents to study nightly?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Enlist the students' help. If the students are motivated to learn the words maybe they will go home and ask their parents to help them learn the words. Reward your students when they reach smaller goals. The 100 club is a great idea but hard for some younger students to reach, make the goal smaller and maybe they will be more motivated to get parental help.

Comments: I don't think the goal is the problem. If they aren't getting parents help then it doesn't matter what the goal is.

Comments: Smaller goals over time are achievable and require less consistent one-on-one time, which is helpful with students with uninvolved parents.
