Lesson 3 - Learning Express Library

1. I will show him how to locate the User Guides for the LearningExpress Library, as well as help him through the sign up process if he hasn't already done so. After that, I would show him how to find the Center which would be most beneficial to meet his needs. From the School Center, I would lead him to the appropriate school level (elementary, in his case) and from there I would guide him to the Reading Comprehension Skills Improvement. He would be able to partake in many different practice sets, under a variety of types: Informational Reading, Narrative Reading, Persuasive Reading, Poetry Reading & General Reading.

2. The best place in LearningExpress Library for her to start would be in the Career Center. She could begin by exploring Build Your Workplace Skills. In this center, she would be able to ascertain which skills she might need to improve upon prior to seeking employment. She would be able to strengthen her business writing skills and also do research on how to Succeed on the Job (public speaking).

Following the research she does on these topics, I would recommend she investigate the "Improve your Job Search, Interviewing, and Networking Skills to find more helpful information under the sections included there.

3. I would start this student out in the Career Center. He could explore the Careers in Allied Health, for starters, to learn more about the job market, training programs, financial options, exams, certifications and more. It may be valuable for him to also peruse the Healthcare Essentials: A Glossary & Study Guide, since the guide contains nearly 1K key terms and easy definitions within one's grasp.  Following his exploration of these areas, I'd suggest he enter the term "nurse" &/or "pharmacist" into the search window on LearningExpress Library to discover the plethora of information that is his for the reviewing. :)
