Lesson 2 -- Learning Express Library

1.  I would first show the student the Grade 4 Reading Comprehension Practices under the Reading Skills Improvement Section. Then, the student can move on to other sections such as Informative, Narrative, and Persuasive practices.  After using the practice modules, the student may want to take the diagnostic tests. Also, the e-book Getting Ready for the 4th Grade Assessment Tests, under FCAT 4th Grade Reading Practice has a section on Language Arts that the student may find helpful.

2.  I would direct her to the Job Search & Workplace Skills section. She can get great tips on interviewing for a job and also brush up on her business writing skills. I would also recommend the Skill Building for Adults section. This section has writing, reading, math, and public speaking skills practice - skills that may improve her qualification for an office manager.

3.  For information about a nursing career, the student should visit the Nursing and Allied Health section under Jobs & Careers. Becoming a Nurse within the Career Guidance area gives a good overview of this profession. Then the student should check out nursing tests in the Entrance Test Preparation and Licensure and Certification Test Preparation sites. 

    Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) information can be found in the College Students section under Graduate School Entrance Exams Preparation. Also, the student may wish to browse the College Preparation section for practice tests concerning math and science which are important subjects for both nursing and pharmacy students.
