Tiffany had Kylie’s parent-teacher conference tonight and we got some good news. Her teacher stated that Kylie is doing very well for the most part. From September to January her reading level has gone up again, however it appears that her math skills have actually gotten worse. The good news is that her teacher is not worried about this. She thinks that the day Kylie took the test she was just having a bad math day. She says that since Kylie has started to go to Sylvan Learning she is seeing an improvement in her overall math comprehension. Now when the teacher explains something new to the students she notices that Kylie no longer has a lost and confused look on her face, and when she walks around the room to check on the students while they are working on the problems, Kylie is doing more of them than she had been previously. She has also noticed that Kylie doesn’t seem to have as many questions when they are going over the math concepts. She has also been having Kylie take her math exams outside of the room, in the hallway with a teachers aide, and Kylie has been performing much better under those circumstances as well. So on a positive side it would appear that we are seeing an improvement from the Sylvan Learning center already. Our hope is that it will be enough to get her slightly above grade level by the end of the school year.
