Our grade level requires that students read every night for 15 mins. The student is to record the book title in the agenda and have a parent sign it. I send home a book each night for the students and have prizes for the students who reach the goal of reading 15 days out of the month. The prize is a pizza hut coupon, free lunch with me, and 45 playing time on the Playstation 3 during the monthly celebration. I have reminded parents about this assignment, write it as nightly homework, and discuss it at conferences. Please help. I only have 3 students who make the goal every month. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) First, is it material that is interesting to the student? Students are not going to read at home unless it is something that interests the student. What about allowing them to complete their reading before school or after school while they are in the classroom? Where I work the parents are busy working and trying to provide and usually do not have the time to sit with their child to read.                 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: I believe that taking the interests of students into account when it comes to difficult assignments is key.
