Lesson 8 Learning Express Library

A few years ago our school received information about this resource. I did send the book marks we received home with students but I think this resource should be emphasized again. There is so much valuable information for any student who would like to take the time to use it.
#1 & 2 I took a 4th Grade Reading Test, a Middle school test and a word analogy test on the high school level. These would be great practice tests for any student! Using this resource would be so much better than playing on a computer during spare time!! The answers given later are good for making you think in a different way and for learning some new information.
#3 The ebooks look like they would be very valuable if you like to read from the computer. It was interesting at the wide range of sources that are available for students and even some items for parents. The ebooks appeared to have practical information. I opened up a Reading Comprehension Success book. There were 20 lessons. The book had 208 pages. If a student had enough self disciple to stick with these lessons, there would be a great deal of information that could help a person take tests and become prepared for a job and/or a career.
I am planning to go to our high school counselor and show her about this resource. Our students should be made aware of this resource. I feel test scores could be improved with the use of the Learning Express Library. Often a test score determines the amount of scholarship money that a student receives. We need to take advantage of this resource.
