Thank you once again Sally-Ann for explaining the WRIT tables so methodically. I really needed to understand the recent development when reporting the WRIT scores in relation to prevalence and our choice as assessors as to whether to report or not.

When I signed up for this course I thought I would open my WRIT manual and find tables I had never seen before. Wrong, I had diligently marked them all with highlighter and written little notes at the top of the page and even put a postit to mark the page. Have I used them? Only the table on p76, I will now be looking at my scores in far more detail. Thank you Sally-Ann for making it all make sense.
