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 recommend showing her parent a report of her current reading level. If it is significantly below average it may give him incentive to take the time to improve her reading skills.
