You begin using the program in your classroom by giving a short six-minute test-the Starting Level Guide-to determine the color level in which each student should start. Even if your students have used the program before, it is still important to begin each school year with the Starting Level Guide and other introductory procedures in order to ensure the smooth working of the system.
An easy to use chart is provided to determine the right lab for your students.
