How should I assess a 4th grade student who is reading on a 1st grade level?

I am a student studying to be an elementary school teacher and I am currently in a Reading practicum class in a 4th grade elementary school classroom. I have a case study student who I need to assess (the teacher already told me she reads on a 1st grade level) but I need to assess her myself. Do you have any suggestions of tests I can give her? I have a Phonemic Awareness test and I also thought about doing a Yopp-Singer test as well.

After I am done assessing her I need to formulate 8 lesson plans for her. I do not even know what to begin teaching her, even if her assessments come out poorly. Do I start with sight words?

I would love an experienced teacher’s help or a reading specialist to point me in a direction and show me some websites.

Well Im not sure how much help this could br but I was always a slow reader and my mom would write down the word “at” from there put a “C” in front to start building words then growing into 4, 5, and 6 letter words with the work “at” in them, it takes time but it helped me, you just need a good building block word to start with
