INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Of course, it may be hard to find out how he acts when you're not there, but try to observe him from afar. If you see him across the lunch room, see how he is acting with his friends. Is he talking a lot or is he quiet? If he's very talkative around other people, but quiet around you, there's a good chance that he feels nervous about saying the wrong thing in front of you. If he is a quiet person all the time, it may be hard to tell this way. Look for other ways to know if he likes you too. When you're around does he avoid looking directly at you? Is he sweating? Is he defensive if someone teases him? If he is not normally like this, but seems to be when you're around he may be worried about doing or saying the wrong thing in front of you, especially if he is shy. If a boy likes you, he's more likely to seem as though he is nervous or anxious when you are around. If he isn't really in to you, he will be more stand-offish. A shy guy is likely to be fidgeting with his hair or his clothes when you are around or he may cross his arms in front of his chest. Shy boys are more likely to feel nervous around their crush, so they may seem defensive, when in fact they are actually very interested. You may find that your shy boy often tries to be around you, but not really near to you. For example, he may find excuses to hang out with your group of friends, but he'll always try to sit as far away from you as possible. Don't take this as a sign that he doesn't like you. If you are friends on social media, think about how he treats you. Did he find you and friend you? Is he constantly liking everything you post? If so, there's a pretty good chance he is interested in you, but hasn't gotten up the courage to do anything about it. You can also try to hint to him that you're interested by friending him (if you're not already friends), and showing appreciation for his posts by liking them or making a comment. Don't overdo it though! You don't need to like every single thing he posts, rather just a few to show him that you are paying attention.

SUMMARY: Observe how he acts when you're around and when you're not around. Think about whether or not he seems nervous around you. Read his body language. Think about his social media behavior.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you have identified symptoms that may indicate a learning disorder, talk to your doctor. They'll have questions about your family medical history and the child's academic performance. The doctor may refer you and your child to a neurologist to get a more complete picture of how the child's brain functions. The doctor will also help you to rule out medical reasons for learning problems, such as poor vision or hearing. If you have your child's IQ and standardized test results, show these to your doctor. There are various psychological and emotional tests that your child can take to help you and your doctor identify any issues and decide on a good course of treatment. The doctor may also ask you and your child to work closely with the school psychologist in diagnosing and treating a learning disorder. If your child struggles specifically with issues related to reading and speech, your doctor may refer them to a speech pathologist. The discrepancy between the two test scores that's sufficient to diagnose a learning disability will differ between states. For example, in some states a difference of 15 points may be sufficient to diagnose the child with a learning disability, while in others, the difference may need to be over 20 points. Talk to your school district about whether your child's learning disability will permit them to get extra help in school. Talk to the school administrators or counselor about how to help your child if they're not diagnosed with a learning disability. There may be other reasons for why your child is not performing at the level at which they should be.
Summary: Visit your pediatrician to discuss the possibility of a learning disorder. Talk to your doctor about other tests to diagnose a learning disorder. Find out how your state identifies a learning disability.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can usually tell that a yarn is chunky just by looking at it. Chunky yarn is only one term used to identify yarn types within the broader "bulky yarn" category. Many yarn brands will label the yarn as "chunky yarn," but there are a few other terms that brands may use to describe the yarn. These terms include "craft" and "rug" yarn. Check the label to be sure that a yarn is chunky. Another way to identify chunky yarn is by its yarn weight symbol. The symbol for chunky yarn and all other forms of bulky yarn is "5." A thicker yarn category is category 6, which is "super bulky." Some yarns in this category might be called "super chunky." Super chunky yarn and chunky yarn are not quite the same, so you should keep that in mind when making your yarn selection. Yarns can be made from different fibers, even yarns of a single thickness. Each fiber will have a different texture and appearance. Experiment with different fibers until you find one that you like. As a general tip, consider the intended use of the project when picking out a fiber material. A blanket or scarf will need a softer yarn fiber than a rug or handbag would probably need. Acrylic wool is a mix of natural and synthetic fibers. It tends to be inexpensive and durable, making it ideal for projects like rugs and purses. It can also be used for sweaters and scarves but may not be soft enough for those with sensitive skin. Cotton wool is soft, durable, and natural. It is generally preferred for sweaters and scarves but may still be too rough for those with very sensitive skin, like infants and toddlers. The softest wools are cashmere, silk, mohair, lambs, and alpaca. Cashmere and silk wools are typically used for scarves, shawls, and wraps, but they are more delicate and require more care. Mohair, lambswool, and alpaca wool tend to be used for blankets and sweaters, but they also require special care. This step applies to any yarn you shop for, and chunky yarn is no exception. You'll need to figure out which color or colors you want to use for your project. Use any color that you like or that will meet the needs of your project. Once you figure it out, buy the number of skeins you will need. It's better to have too many than too few. The dye can be slightly different from batch to batch, so buying the same hue by name at two different times can result in having two slightly different shades. You can avoid this problem if you buy the yarn all at once. To be on the safe side, you should also check the "lot" or "dye lot" number on the back label of each skein. Make sure that the dye lot number on each skein is the same before you buy them. Otherwise, you may still end up with different shades. The right crochet hook to use can vary by project and yarn type. If you are using a pattern, then the hook size might be indicated in the pattern. If you are not using a pattern, then check the yarn label for a recommendation. If you are not sure what hook size to use, choose a hook size that falls within the standard recommended range. Larger hooks tend to be best for chunky yarn. In U.S. sizes, look for a hook between K-10-1/2 and M-13. In metric sizes, look for a hook between 6.5 and 9 mm. If you end up picking a super chunky yarn, the recommended hook size is M-13 and up in U.S. sizes or 9 mm and up in metric sizes.

SUMMARY:
Select a chunky yarn. Consider different types of material. Find the right color. Choose the best hook size for your yarn.
