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 send the grades or the printed data where the student struggles and send home to the parents. Maybe you can email or text the parents to remind them to read with their kid.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: General email reminders to parents could be a good motivation, sometimes we all need to be reminded.
