Thanks for this great report. It sounds like your Deaf daughter is really learning SignWriting quickly. You may be ready for the advanced materials sooner than we thought :-) Meanwhile...in regards to your question about teaching ideas....one idea.... I sent you a Picture Dictionary written in ASL and English. If you cover up one language, you can test the other language, and then reverse it. Have you tried that? There are around 50 signs and words...you can also see some pages online: ASL Picture Dictionary Directory https://www.SignWriting.org/asl001.html English/ASL Picture Dictionary https://www.SignWriting.org/asl007.html ASL/English Picture Dictionary https://www.SignWriting.org/asl012.html But....we are still new to teaching SW to Deaf children....so... Any ideas from the SW List on ways to stimulate children to learn to read and write?
