The WRIT assesses both verbal and non-verbal abilities by means of Verbal (Crystallised) and Visual (Fluid) scales. The Vocabulary subtest requires the learner to verbally define a word which has been dictated. The Verbal Analogies subtest requires the learner to complete verbal analogies. The Diamonds subtest (timed) requires the learner to construct specific designs using single or multiple diamond-shaped pieces. The Matrices subtest requires the learner to evaluate a series of pictures and to select the option that best completes a visual array. Verbal Analogies Standard Score 73 TR was in the well below average/low range for this subtest suggesting that she had difficulty acquiring vocabulary and lacks word knowledge. She answered familiar items quickly and confidently, but many of the items TR said were unknown to her. A lack of general knowledge which is heavily dependent on wide reading, which may be the result of TR’s reluctance to read for pleasure, may have contributed to this result as well as problems with word retrieval. Vocabulary Standard Score 91 TR was in the mid-average range for this task. TR defined most of the words fully and accurately. She confidently attempted definitions when she was not sure of the words meaning. She struggled to find words to express herself on more than one occasion. The verbal subtests look at spoken-language ability, verbal reasoning and vocabulary. They are heavily dependent on wide reading and sound verbal processing
My interpersonal skills have been developed through working closely with colleagues whilst on placement but also through my employment at the coffee shop, this has been particularly useful when training new staff.
The vocabulary, spelling, punctuation, logical sentences, and sentence combining subtests are contrived tests where testing begins at question one regardless of age/grade, and continues until the student incorrect

In my life I strive to be the best person I can be, I find myself always wanting to learn and grow. This comes from myself never wanting to become stagnate in life. If I can learn and grow from the people and the places around me I will become a well-rounded and efficient person in society. I have come to realize that t I have my fault in my communication and so do others. I think one of the biggest things I have to work on is transferring “You” statements into “I” statements. Working in law enforcement the “You” statement can get people fired up very quickly where as if I used an “I” statement it would probably make the situation allot better for everyone and make things move quicker.
The Verbal Comprehension Index measures the EE107’s ability to access and apply acquired word knowledge. Specifically, this score reflects her ability to verbalize meaningful concepts, think about verbal information, and express herself using words. On the Similarities subtest, EE107 had challenges with identifying how two words are alike. Similarly, on the Vocabulary subtest, EE107 could provide correct definition of basic words, but she struggled to provide definitions of higher level words. On the Verbal Comprehension Index, EE107 obtained a standard score of 55 which falls at the 0.1 percentile and within the extremely low range. Verbal Comprehension is a weakness for EE107, meaning that she may difficulty understanding oral language
condition, and say, “look, here is the word (e.g., meager/little). Now these girls think that they know what (e.g., meager/little) means, let’s here what they say!” The experimenter will then point to both girls sequentially and state their word definitions for two times. One informant will always provide a circular definition, and the other will always provide a noncircular definition (see Table 1 for examples of word definitions). After children hearing the definitions, the experimenter will ask, “What do you think (e.g., meager/little) means? What this girl said (pointing to one informant), or what this girl said (pointing to another informant)?” Both verbal and physically responses will be acceptable. The order the word and the informant
Self assessment tools that are provided in this unit’s read section include the peak performer self assessment test, the learning style inventory, and the four temperament profile (Bethel University, 2013). Upon completing these tests, one can determine the type of learner that they are and whether that learning style is visual, auditory, or kinesthetic.
The Basic Sight Words and Phrases assessment measures the student’s knowledge of basic sight words and basic sight word phrases.
Within the laboratory, there are a range of communication methods that are used to convey information between biomedical scientists and the service users (consultants and patients). Verbal and non-verbal communication shapes our interactions with others and the interpersonal relationships with those around us, including our co-workers and service users. Verbal communication comprises of any form involving the use of words, whether they may be spoken by voice, or written and signed. We use it to inform others of knowledge, opinions and our needs, thus it helps us to clarify any missing information or misunderstandings when we fail to articulate ourselves clearly. Non-verbal communication allows information to be transmitted alongside words
To assess the student’s phonics a names test is ideal. A Names test assess a student’s ability to use what they know about phonics in a meaningful context. The student reads aloud to determine the student’s decoding strengths and weaknesses. To assess the student’s fluency progress monitoring. Progress monitoring is done to help the teachers design better instructional programs. The teacher can also use this information to make improvements to instruction. This monitoring can show the students improvements or responsiveness to the change in instruction. These fit a diagnostic approach because the results help the teacher determine the strengths and weaknesses. The results can be beneficial because it can change the
Before I started with Lisa the vocabulary assessment, I ask her what does vocabulary means. She smiled and said “like words, play with words, play with sight words and turn them into words, spell them, and sight words game.” Then, I told Lisa that I will read a story about a subject
Nonverbal listening and communication skills are a very important part of daily interactions, and the exercise I’m reporting on demonstrates the many reasons why in a practical and effective manner. The exercise required me to have a one-on-one conversation with an individual whom I am comfortable with, and whom I am less comfortable with. During these conversations I made use of active listening while taking mental notes I can analyze subsequently after ending both interactions. Additionally, I intended for each conversation to last for at least fifteen minutes. The ultimate objective of this exercise is to identify my weak points and constructively improve myself in anticipation of further interactions. My brothers are the two individuals who, unknowingly, assisted me in gathering the appropriate material and feedback for this assignment. The conversations that I had with them have been able to help me identify the nonverbal communication skills I did not know I have, and recognize what I need to do to improve.
