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!)
Try as you might, convincing an busy parent is a serious undertaking that you may never win. It may be more beneficial for the student to find other supports for them in the school. Is there tutoring available? A reading club? Is a leader in the after school program able to read with the student? You may also find a mentor volunteer that would come in and spend time eating lunch and reading with the student. It would also be beneficial to model for the student on how they can come into the library and find interesting books, audio books and even applications for their tablet that they can use to read. Giving them an introduction to the tools that may help them be successful throughout their education would surely benefit them if they do not have educational support at home. |

| Comments: This solution offers great options! I think the idea of a lunch-tutor is wonderful or involving the child in a reading club or getting after school help. If the parents are so busy, the child is probably involved in after school care anyway. This would be a wonderful time to brush up on reading skills. |
