Landorf, Hilary
New Horizons in Adult Education & Human Resource Development, v20 n4 p28-32 Fall 2006

VTS has been proven to enhance reading, writing, comprehension, and creative and analytical skills among students of all ages. The origins and procedures of the VTS curriculum are described, and the applicability of the VTS curriculum for adult learners is explored.
