Easy Reading Assesments

Archive for February, 2010

I understand that there exist differences yet I do not fully understan either of them. Also a link to valuable reading would be good. Thank you, smart people.

I work for a company that contracts out their employees to other businesses.
I was contracted out to one business, and there is a woman who works there.
I am always placed near the front of the building, so she always has to pass by. She has been making jokes over the past month or so.
Jokes like, “what did you bring me for dinner?”
On Valentine’s Day, she asked if I brought her some roses. I don’t celebrate holidays over religious reasons, so I had nothing. She said she thought we were valentines, and that I’m being “trifling.” She said this all jokingly, there was no anger in her voice.
And today, I had some of my favorite candies (Andes mint chocolate bars), and I offered her some. She said she’d have to pick it up later. But when I was sent upstairs for a particular reason for the business, I came across her. She asked if I brought her the chocolates, to which I said I left them downstairs. She said we’d “have to get a divorce, because I don’t pay attention.” Again, this came out entirely jokingly.
I think anyone reading this has probably put together I think she has a crush on me, as she keeps bringing up more romantic ideas in a joking manner. A way of putting herself out there without actually having to put herself out there. I think.
But I have not been out on a date in years, not even tried. I don’t trust my instincts anymore. I would feel a lot better if I had some corroboration of this, or possibly if you guys believe she might just be playing around for fun.
I’d hate to ruin a friendship by turning things all embarrassing because I read her wrong.
What do you guys think?

I am a student studying to be an elementary school teacher and I am currently in a Reading practicum class in a 4th grade elementary school classroom. I have a case study student who I need to assess (the teacher already told me she reads on a 1st grade level) but I need to assess her myself. Do you have any suggestions of tests I can give her? I have a Phonemic Awareness test and I also thought about doing a Yopp-Singer test as well.
After I am done assessing her I need to formulate 8 lesson plans for her. I do not even know what to begin teaching her, even if her assessments come out poorly. Do I start with sight words?
I would love an experienced teacher’s help or a reading specialist to point me in a direction and show me some websites.

I’m 22 and have read a lot about it. I think I have it and I’m making an appointment with my doctor for an assessment.
I want to know: what kind of tests will they give me and how long will it take?
Thank you.
