  Case: Parents that are too busy
There is a bright and cheerful young girl in the second grade classroom I am currently spending time in. She struggles with all sorts of things, but especially reading. My CT recently spoke to her father about getting more reading time in at home and he got very defensive. She said that even ten minutes a night would really help the student, but he continued that they (the parents) had to work and were too busy. What would you do to convince this parent that those ten minutes are critical to his daughter's success?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have the student still look up YouTube read alouds so that they're getting some type of help with listening to an adult read to them. If the student goes to an after school program, have the counselors read to them as well.

Comments: I think the read alouds would help because then the child still gets the story time. Then the counselors at school could help in the morning read the actual story so she can see it visually.
