Program Description
The program contains six question types. Each question type has 20 questions, which are split into two sets of
ten. Units and questions stimuli are arranged in a hierarch of difficulty.
Who What
Where Why
When How
Each question is presented in a series of steps. Narration starts automatically when the first picture sequence
(the sentence) appears on the screen. Next, the student displays the second picture sequence (the pictures that
correspond to the question). Finally, the student displays the click-and-drag text boxes. He drags each text box
and releases it beneath its corresponding picture to formulate the question. Then, the student checks his answer
and receives reinforcement. At this point he sees the correct question in its entirety (with capitalization and
punctuation) and hears its narration.
