How Do I Review Vocabulary/Dictionaries in Vantage/Vanguard PASS?

The VT-VG PASS allows you to review the vocabulary in any Area. You can also review the Speech Dictionary, the Word Prediction Dictionary and Dynamic Activities.  You can tell the Vantage-Vanguard PASS to send a review to a folder on your computer where you can review it at your leisure, save it to a different folder and/or print it out.

Below are directions for performing a vocabulary review from the REVIEW VOCABULARY MENU.  You can use these steps with only slight variations in the Review options in the  DICTIONARY MENU, WORD PREDICTION MENU and DYNAMIC ACTIVITY MENU.

1. Go to the VT-VG Toolbox and select the REVIEW VOCABULARY MENU.

3. Select the Review to Output Method option and select OK.    NOTE:  Make a note of the Area you are currently using. It will be listedat the top of the PASS screen. You will need to know this later.

NOTE: If you just want to see the review on the screen, select Review to Display.

4. You will see a yellow box that says, "Please wait. Busy sending data...."  PASS is sending the review to a folder named VocabReview on your computer. When the yellow box has disappeared, select OK

NOTE: Some reviews, such as a Dictionary review, will take much longer to perform than an Area vocabulary review.

12. You can open and print the documents from your computer or save them to a different folder.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Any time you do a review, the newest review will overwrite the older review in the folder. If you want to save a particular review, save it to a new folder on your computer.

Using these steps you can perform any review in the VT-VG PASS. 

NOTE ABOUT REVIEWING DYNAMIC ACTIVITIES:   If you open the DYNAMIC ACTIVITY MENU and select Review Dynamic Activities, you will see a list of all the Dynamic Activities in your Area. Select More Items until you come to the last page of the list (the page will no longer change). Then select Cancel. This sends the review to the VocabReview folder on your computer.
