A 15-minute conference won’t solve years of school struggles.

I created the Parent-Teacher Conference Playbook because I’ve spent years on both sides of that table—as a school administrator and as a mom of five who would lose sleep before our conferences.

Here are five questions from the Playbook to get you started:

1️⃣ What strengths do you see in my son?

2️⃣ What’s the biggest concern affecting his progress?

3️⃣ Has his reading fluency been measured this year? What were the results?

4️⃣ What support have you tried, and what’s helping?

5️⃣ What’s our next step, and when will we check progress?

These five are just a starting point. The Playbook helps you prepare, understand the answers, and leave with a plan for the rest of the year.

If the teacher can’t answer #3, ask how to get a current reading-fluency measure. Don’t let another year pass without knowing where he stands.

Comment PLAYBOOK to get the guide.
