Those guys can be found in Amberg. If you ever come past them, try being quiet. It is hard to read when someone is distrubing you. And they have a lot to read - they sit there 24/7 after all, every day the whole year and I am sure they will have still something to read even during the following one. And the one that comes after that.
I spent a good deal of today reading. Reading news, reading a book, reading a paper for my seminar class... Wish I had so much time for reading as these fellows.

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.

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.
