Hello Melissa -
Thanks for this message. Yes, you are welcome to join the SignWriting
Literacy Project. We already have one Homeschool in Plant City, Florida.
You can visit their web page at:
SW Literacy Group #4:
Homeschool, Plant City, Florida
Contact Teacher: Michele Lewis
https://www.SignWriting.org/teach007.html
I hope your children will benefit from the Literacy Project and we look
forward to receiving your confirmation letter and your Web Report #1.
You can find a "sample confirmation letter" and Web Report #1 on our web
site at:
Sample Confirmation Letter
https://www.SignWriting.org/teach005.html
Web Report #1, Literacy Project
https://www.SignWriting.org/teach002.html
When you send me your Web Report, please send it to me through email. That
is the easiest for me :-)
So...welcome to the SignWriting Literacy Project!!
PS. In regards to workshops in San Diego, at this time I am not teaching
publicly, but occasionally my Deaf staff members hold workshops on
SignWriting in ASL. So I will keep you posted if that occurs. Of course we
hope that the materials you receive through the SignWriting Literacy
Project will give you instruction at home, so that you can teach your
children. And you always have full tech support from me through email and
the web :-)
As you know, I am developing more ways of offering instruction through our
web site, so instruction will be available to everyone who has access to
computers.
All the best -
Valerie Sutton :-)
