About Cat in the Hat in ASL
The
writing of Cat in the Hat
in American
Sign Language is a remarkable
document
by Cherie Wren, interpreter
and teacher at the
Georgia School for the Deaf.
Cherie
signed the story in American
Sign Language,
on video, and then wrote the
story, from
the video, in SignWriting.
Cat in the Hat has
complicated English, and the
translation
into American Sign Language
was not easy.
But Cherie signed it in a
dynamic way,
telling the story in ASL with
delightful charm.
I know I watched it with excitement,
to see what
would happen at the end. It
is no wonder
that it is a popular document,
read by many
readers on the web, in three
formats.
Cherie Wren has contributed
a variety of children's
stories to the SignWriting
Literature Project,
including Jack & Jill,
Little Miss Muffet, Mary Had
A Little Lamb, Itsy Bitsy
Spider, Little Bo Peep,
Baa Baa Black Sheep, Hickory
Dickory Dock,
Cat in the Hat and the Shurley
Jingles.
All these stories can be read
on the web.
