Valerie - Yes, if there is such a workbook, it might be quite useful. When I teach beginning ASL in the states, students tell me they'd like some way to review the signs between the weekly classes. If they're using SN, they have the videotape, but printed material in SW could be useful when they don't have access to a video player. Let me know if you decide to redo it.
