I set up an account in Learning Express Library. I took a 4th grade reading pre-test. I got a perfect score.Yah!! Although some of the questioning is a little tricky, I feel a 4th grader could easily misinterpret the question. Overall, I felt the pre-test is a good assessment for content knowledge. I searched the job and resume courses and previewed an interviewing course. The tips they provided were basic and easily to understand. What I enjoyed the most is the ebook. I choose "Think You Know Your Vocabulary". I found it captivating. Who would think that every day you hear words that you do not fully comprehend? Do you owe a settee? Don't give me a nebulous answer. Vocabulary is so important in this day and age. Computers have taken away a lot of our grammar and dialog as we know it. Although, Verbal language will always show how well educated you are. I plan on passing on the pre-test "how much do you know now" to my colleagues. Let's see how well they know their vocabulary.
Mrs. Thompson, hope your colleagues are up to the test! :) Thanks for your comments. As you realize, most of this resource is for secondary & adults. Glad you could find some fun, useful stuff here.
