Sarah (Female)

Thank you for meeting with me, Mr. James. I wanted to discuss Emily's progress, specifically in reading.

谢谢您抽出时间见我，詹姆斯先生。我想谈谈艾米丽的学习进展，尤其是在阅读方面。

James (Male)

Of course, Ms. Sarah. I appreciate you bringing this up. I've also noticed Emily seems to be struggling a bit more with reading comprehension than her peers.

当然，莎拉女士。很高兴您能提出这个问题。我也注意到艾米丽在阅读理解方面比同龄人吃力一些。

Sarah (Female)

Yes, exactly. At home, she gets frustrated easily, and it takes her a very long time to get through assignments. I'm wondering if there's anything else we should be looking into, perhaps a learning difference?

是的，没错。在家里，她很容易感到沮丧，完成作业要花很长时间。我想知道我们是否应该再深入了解一下，也许是学习差异？

James (Male)

It's certainly a possibility. She's a bright girl, and her other subjects are strong. We could try a few additional reading interventions in class, and if we don't see significant improvement, we might consider a formal assessment.

这当然有可能。她是个聪明的孩子，其他科目都很好。我们可以在课堂上多进行一些阅读干预，如果效果不明显，我们可以考虑进行正式评估。

Sarah (Female)

What kind of interventions are you thinking of? I'd like to support her at home as well.

您考虑采取什么样子的干预措施？我也想在家里支持她。

James (Male)

We can focus on phonics and decoding strategies, perhaps some one-on-one time with a reading specialist if available. At home, continued reading aloud to her and asking open-ended questions about the stories would be beneficial.

我们可以重点关注拼读和解码策略，如果可能的话，还可以让阅读专家进行一对一的指导。在家里，继续给她朗读，并就故事内容提开放式问题将会有帮助。

Sarah (Female)

That sounds like a good plan. How long do you think we should try these interventions before considering the assessment?

听起来是个好计划。您觉得我们应该尝试这些干预措施多久，再考虑评估？

James (Male)

Let's give it about 4-6 weeks and then reconnect. I'll document our observations closely. We want to ensure she gets the support she needs.

我们先尝试4到6周，然后我们再联系。我会密切记录我们的观察。我们希望确保她得到她需要的支持。

Sarah (Female)

Perfect. Thank you so much for your understanding and proactive approach. It means a lot.

太好了。非常感谢您的理解和积极应对。这对我意义重大。

James (Male)

Not at all, Ms. Sarah. We're a team in Emily's education. Let's stay in touch.

不客气，莎拉女士。我们是艾米丽教育上的伙伴。我们保持联系。
