By the end of this post, we hope you\u2019ll be able to use the progress report as a tool to help your child celebrate success and tackle any challenges they may be facing at school.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 300px; height: 450px;\" src=\"\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/tutorial-how-read-progress-report-pinterest.jpeg\" alt=\"parenting tips - tutorial: how to read a progress report\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"rtecenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Review on Your Own<\/h2>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/review-progress-report-first.jpeg\" alt=\"review progress report on your own first\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you receive the report, first, go through it without your child. This gives you time to process all of the information and then start a discussion with your child about current strengths and weaknesses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"rtecenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Start with Strengths, then Opportunities<\/h2>\n<p>When you\u2019re going through the report, start by identifying strengths; where is your child doing well? Make a note of these before moving onto weaknesses. These areas of improvement are the most important part of the report, as they showcase the best ways for your child to get to the next level. Consider different plans you can work through with your child to help address these weaknesses, and keep these ideas in your back pocket for when it\u2019s time to discuss with your child.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"rtecenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Find the Trends Throughout the Report<\/h2>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/find-trends-in-progress-report.jpeg\" alt=\"find trends throughout the report\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Look for trends if you can. For example, if your child is excelling at independent work and self-regulation but struggling with collaboration and initiative, that may mean that they have difficulty working in groups, and either need to work on focusing in crowds or on communication skills. Finding trends is a great way to figure out the big and small ways your child can improve.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"rtecenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Discuss the Feedback with Your Child<\/h2>\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to sit down and go through the report with your child. Before opening the report, ask them how they think they did. This will show how aware they are of their own progress.<\/p>\n<p>Next, take all of the positive and negative feedback in the report and go through it all, one at a time. We recommend bookending the negative comments with positive ones, because it means you\u2019ll start and finish with good news! Starting with good news will engage them and make them confident enough for the bad news, and ending with good news will leave them feeling empowered instead of defeated.<\/p>\n<p>With ideas in your back pocket, chat with your child about ways they can improve and make a plan together.<\/p>\n<p>Armed with these tips, you\u2019ll be better able to digest the information offered through the progress report and have a productive conversation with your child. It\u2019s all about celebrating your child\u2019s success and helping them tackle any challenges!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><em>Care to find out more about how you can help your child improve their school grades?
