LearningRx Offers Advice for Parent-Teacher Conferences
Think of parent-teacher conferences as time-out on the sidelines of a football game. It is the time of year when parents and teachers work together to assess their strategy for helping their team win.
Kim Bellini, owner and director of The Woodlands LearningRx, says this team mentality is the best way to approach a childâs education. âIt takes good communication on all sides, because weâre really all on the same team,â she explains.
Bellini offers a number of suggestions to help parents have productive and positive meetings with their childâs teacher. First, Bellini advises parents to be informed â read the school handbook to understand expectations and talk to your children to learn of their concerns and struggles.
Next, Bellini says to be prepared. If a child is new to a school district, it may be a good idea to bring assessments from the previous institutions. If a child has seen a pediatrician or psychologist to check for learning disabilities, parents should bring the evaluations. Parents may also want to prepare a list of questions in advance. Some good questions include: What skills are children expected to master this year? How will my child be evaluated? How has my child performed on daily assignments, tests and homework so far?
âThe best question is âWhat can I do at home to help reinforce what youâre doing in the classroom?ââ Bellini said. âIn response, teachers will most often recommend reading at home with their child. Also, help make sure homework is completed on time and communicate with the teacher if there are any problems.â
Bellini also urges parents to remember that teachers have their studentsâ best interests at heart and that most problems come from a lack of understanding. âTeachers donât want to deliver bad news,â Bellini said. âBut if a teacher isnât willing to break the news now, it can make it even harder for the student next year.â
When students have trouble mastering subjects, programs offered at the Woodlands LearningRx can offer testing, training and techniques to help them overcome learning challenges. Located at 4840 West Panther Creek, Suite 205 in The Woodlands, the center offers brain training programs for students of all ages who want to enhance their ability to learn, read and succeed at a broad range of academic and work-related challenges. The center also offers programs for seniors who want to stay sharp and improve their quality of life.

GLOSSARY FOR PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES
âA lot of parents get nervous about parent teacher conferences,â said Kim Bellini, owner and director of The Woodlands LearningRx. âIt all boils down to good communication and good listening. Weâre all in it for the kids.â
As a former teacher, Bellini knows that it can be hard to communicate when teachers are used to educational jargon, which may sound like a foreign language to most parents.
These definitions may prove helpful during a parent-teacher conference:
â¢IEP or Individualized Education Program is a plan to determine the individual goals and path for a child who has special needs or disabilities.
â¢RTI or Response To Intervention is a model schools use to describe academic levels of assistance for children who are having difficulty learning. There are three tiers within the model. Tier 1 means the child can learn with some extra help from their teacher in the classroom. Tier 2 requires a short amount of supplemental education outside of class. Tier 3 suggests that even more time is needed to work with the child outside of class. Often individualized and one-on-one time with a specialist is needed.
â¢DRA or Developmental Reading Assessment is a method for assessing primary students' development as readers over time.
â¢Rubric is a grading tool that identifies the standards and criteria for an assignment. Teachers use rubrics to ensure consistent scores.
â¢Percentile Ranking is a measure of how well a student performed in comparison to his peers. For example, if a child achieves a percentile rank of 70 on a standardized test, it means that the child performed better than 70 percent of his or her peers.
â¢PAPI or Phonemic Awareness and Phonics Inventory is an assessment used in the lower grades that measures a childâs ability to work with the sounds within a word.

16 July, Ruskin Library, Lancaster University. I explained my project very briefly and asked permission. I took the photo from a distance, because I wanted to get the sense of her perched on the white stone causeway, in the brilliant (and unusual) sun.
Thank you for participating.
parson's pleasure - lovely spot for reading, with the soothing sound of the water going down the weir
About 1:00 pm, 25 July, Lancaster Bus Station. I asked for permission and he kindly agreed. It's hard to get a good shot with so much brightness and so much in the background; I chose this side and this shot just because there was so much activity behind him, which gives some sense of what it is like to try tor read in a busy place.

Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes star in The Hours director Stephen Daldry's haunting period romance tracing the complicated love affair between a German teen and a mysterious woman twice his age. Based on author Bernhard Schlink's best-selling novel of the same name, The Reader opens in post-World War II Germany, where ailing teenager Michael Berg has fallen ill with scarlet fever. Nursed back to health by Hanna, Michael eventually makes a full recovery and decides to thank his benevolent caretaker in person. Upon being reunited, Michael discovers that Hanna loves being read to and the pair quickly enters into a passionate yet clandestine affair. Later, after intense readings of The Odyssey and Huck Finn, among others, Hanna vanishes without a trace, leaving Michael heartbroken and despondent. Flash-forward nearly a decade, and Michael is a law student observing Nazi war crime trials. When Hanna wanders into the courtroom and takes a seat in the defendant's chair, her past comes into focus just as Michael uncovers the secret that will have a profound impact on both of their lives.
La historia de "The reader" comienza en la Alemania después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Volviendo del colegio, el adolescente Michael Berg se siente de pronto enfermo y Hanna, una desconocida que le dobla la edad, le ayuda a llegar a su casa. Una vez recuperado de la escarlatina, Michael busca a Hanna para darle las gracias. Comienza asà un apasionado y secreto idilio entre ambos. Michael descubre que a Hanna le encanta que le lea y su relación fÃsica se hace más profunda. Hanna encuentra un inmenso placer en las lecturas que le hace Michael de fragmentos de "La Odisea," "Las Aventuras de Huckleberry Finn" y "La dama del Perrito". Sin embargo, pese a la intensidad de su relación, Hanna desaparece un dÃa misteriosamente dejando a Michael confuso y desconsolado. Ocho años más tarde, siendo estudiante de derecho, Michael asiste a los juicios por los crÃmenes nazis y se queda atónito al encontrarse de nuevo con Hanna - esta vez, como acusada en un juicio.
