Dictation passage

Selection The only criteria for copywork/dictation is that it not be assigned PRIOR to being read. There are certain weeks where copywork is assigned several weeks AFTER the passage was read, mainly because of scheduling changes this year.

Extra Dictation passages We will mail out extra dictations for each LA IG for 2007. [Included in LA 3 - 3TL, appendix 3 already.] Extra appendixes will consist of dictations that were included in 2006 edition of LA IG's, but were removed for 2007.

What to tell EVERY customer who asks about new LA or who you tell about new LA

  • Items can NOT be ordered until 3/30 (add to Notes that you stated this)
  • Some LA IG’s will not be available until 7/1 (also add to Notes that you stated availability)
  • Point to Sarita’s interview on main website (in emails, provide link) Linked from Latest News page on site.
  • If clarification is needed, Dr. Beechick did NOT WRITE the new LA but consulted on the project (not everything agrees with her recommendations).
  • Winston Grammar shows as scheduled in LA 4 sample on p. 27 – this is an error – WG is NOT scheduled in any LA IG (will check if a separate schedule can be made available).
  • We think you will be very pleased with this new LA, and more information will be available when the samples are available on the website.

LA Returns - to get new edition

  • Don’t actively promote the LTL – don’t bring it up unless they do
  • If they do bring it up, reiterate the policy (use up to 12 weeks, have one year from date of purchase)
  • Do mention the repurchase discount & coupon – bringing cost to $12.50 to try (upgrade) – with zero risk
  • full return available for 18 weeks - for 2007 edition ONLY
  • we’ll pay up to $7.50 of their return shipping costs for LA IG if they don’t think it is ‘the way they wish they’d been taught’ (this is in addition to $5 coupon; this does NOT apply to returns of the 2006 editions)
  • actively promote ways to use what they have, to smooth transition into new LA
  • any comments about returning entire cores, recently purchased etc., to get new LA, refer ticket to Rhonda
