If you want to teach kids to read , then you have to be able to read to them. The stuff teachers read to hearing second graders is pretty sophisticated stuff. The books the second graders themselves read are vastly more sophisticated than anything I have seen in SW ASL so far, with the excpetion of occasional newsletters. > Charles Butler writes: I must agree with James Shepard-Kegl. I have attempted to write literature for Sign Writing (a story on Clythe, a rather extensive Biblical translation, and a version of Santa Claus comes to town, but they have been passed over because they do not have pictures for the web, or at least that has been my impression. I need feedback on the quality of my linguistic skills, my impression of a good story, anything. We all need practice, practice, practice, when do we get to see ALL of our attempts at storytelling on the web so that others can give us feedback. It cannot be THAT hard to load them to the web as stories, flaws and all. Charles |
