  1. The ILT's are going to make decisions for when the students will get to use the writing program. Which of the following plans do you think is best?
    Do the writing program once you have mastered verbal production of several units. (This is how it was done this year.)
    Do the writing program after you finish the star level. (Before you even do verbal production.)
    Do the writing for a unit after you master the verbal production part of that unit. (So in this choice as soon as you mastered skill set #1 you would be allowed to start learning how to write those words.)
    Start learning to write after you have passed verbal production of all of the VIVA units up to Skill Set 4A.
    Start learning to write after you have passed verbal production of all of the VIVA units up to Skill Set 5A.
    Start learning to write after you have passed verbal production of all of the VIVA units up to Skill Set 6A.
    None of the above


  1. I really, really appreciate your beta testing the writing program for us. I know it had some bugs that we had to work out and appreciate your being patient as we worked them out. The ILT's are going to be making decisions about when and how the VIVA writing program will be used next year. Do you have any comments, questions or anything that you would like to let us know as we make our decisions?
