You and Your Child's Report Card

What was your reaction to the last report card your child brought home? Joy? Disappointment? Confusion? Shock? Many parents (and their children) experience a range of emotions at report card time. And many parents are convinced that their child could be doing better in school, but just aren't sure how to help.

Sylvan's report card guide offers seven key pieces of advice for communicating with children to help them achieve academic success. Learn how to:

• Maintain open lines of communication
• Set goals with your child
• Organize your child's academics
• Regularly track progress
• Identify trouble spots
• Get to know your child's teacher
• Celebrate your child's successes

Report cards enable parents to assess their child's academic progress and assess his strengths and weaknesses. They also provide parents an opportunity for further insight into their child's progress in school.

"When report cards come home, parents should discuss their child's progress and any changes from previous terms," says Richard E. Bavaria, Ph.D. and vice president of education for Sylvan Learning Center. "A report card is a communication tool and a reminder for parents to stay involved in their child's education."
