Fernando Capovilla ____________________________ Thank you, Fernando, for your message. How can we apply what you learned to SignWriting? As you know, second graders and fourth graders at the Texas School for the Deaf will be learning SignWriting this fall. How can we determine what materials are appropriate for each age group? We have little or no experience with second graders right now, and we need all the input we can get! You mention training procedures in your message. What are they like?
