Report cards are due once again this year. Does your family discuss grades on a yearly basis? Do you evaluate final grades and recognize all of the accomplishments?

Students and parents alike may become anxious and concerned when it comes time to talk about final results, especially if subpar marks are a worry. However, you may lessen report card-related stress and have a conversation that everyone can feel good about by sitting down together, praising the successes, and developing a strategy to improve subpar grades over the summer. Every student’s achievement depends on having a family discussion about reports that are open and honest. Here are five suggestions for having a fruitful discussion about the student’s report.

 

6 Suggestions For Talking About Report Cards

1. Schedule It: Avoid casually discussing grades while driving to the store or getting ready for work. Make sure you have enough time to completely discuss the year and each subject/grade when you sit down together.
2. Highlight the Positive: Regardless of the grades that appear on the year-end report card, there will be something positive. a positive note from the teacher, an improvement over last year’s grade, or a pass in a challenging subject. Try not to dwell on the drawbacks.
3. Parents and children are allies in this endeavor. Recognize that you both seek academic achievement by listening to one another. Recognize the fight as you pay attention to their ideas, remarks, concerns, and complaints. Be understanding.
4. Finish with a Strategy: Before your discussion of the grades is through, create a plan with your group for how to improve the following year. Your strategy should include summer learning. Next year, your report card chat will be a breeze if you catch up, remain up, or get ahead during the holiday.
5. Another academic year has come and gone, and A LOT has been done. Regardless of their grades, your child has learned a lot this school year, which is reason enough to rejoice! It’s not necessary to celebrate your child’s graduation to honor all they’ve accomplished. Marking the milestone of a new grade is a terrific opportunity to honor accomplishment at every step, whether it be with monetary awards for good marks or some ice cream.

Goals for Summer Learning

With summer study, next year’s report card will sparkle! Students can avoid losing or forgetting what they learned the previous year by setting summer study goals. Your student will be ahead when they return to school in the fall if you design a summer learning program for them or help them locate one at HKCC. Here are some of our top advice for learning throughout the summer:

1. Activity-Based Learning. Over the summer, keep an eye out for exhibits, activities, or performances in your community. Take children to parks, museums, or any other place where they may learn about their surroundings.
2. Promote writing. Get your student a summer journal, and encourage them to write in it whenever they feel like it. You may even set aside a solid 15 to 20 minutes for them to write a narrative or their sentiments. Here are 7 strategies to promote writing.
3. Create reading-related activities. Try to include some reading time every day because reading is a valuable skill. If you can’t find time to read, make sure to include reading in other things you are doing throughout the day, even if they are prepared at the back of a box at the supermarket.
4. Active Minds, Active Bodies. Students that stay active not only have active minds but also have more self-confidence and self-esteem. Invite them to outdoor games or a park where they may play sports and run about.
5. Garden collectively Learning about the environment and good eating practices through gardening. Together, gardening can improve math, reading, and writing abilities. You can quiz them on various plants, their heights, and the best places to plant them.

While performing routine duties throughout the summer, you can promote any of these habits. Ask them how long it will take to ride their bikes to a friend’s house, have them draw you a map, and have them write down the street names. The learner will like this, and they won’t even realize that it will aid in their summer studies!
