----- Original Message ----- From: "sara g" <saragabai@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: writing letters about the new LD "2 tapes" problem Just to clarify - i was referring to the new directive - that LD kids who can listen to the test from a tape AND ALSO dictate the answers to a tape - used to be able to get from Judy an accommodation of a person to read to them, so they wouldn't need to use 2 tapes at the same time. As of summer 2008, they can not have the reader, so they will have to use 2 tapes. What Aviva wrote about (CDs or tapes) is also an issue, but I don't agree with her, because my school has no way of recording tests on CDs , so we would not be able to have the kids practice using CDs before the bagrut...) sara g Aviva wrote: > Hi all..
