SignWriting List June 3, 2000 Hello Linda - Thanks for your great introduction. Your daughter sounds like a wonderful child! The teachers who responded to you, are all using SignWriting as a part of their literacy curriculums. If you inform your daughter's teachers about the SignWriting Literacy Project, they may want to participate: ------------------------------- The SignWriting Literacy Project FREE TO SCHOOLS FOR THE DEAF The SignWriting Literacy Project is pioneering a new concept in Deaf Education. SignWriting books, videos and software are donated to classes of Deaf students. In return, teachers, students and parents provide documented feedback. The results are published on the SignWriting Web Site and in an annual SignWriting Literacy Project Report, distributed to educators. SignWriting is a way to read, write and type any signed language. All materials donated to the schools are written in American Sign Language (ASL), authored by Deaf native ASL signers. The SignWriting videos are taught in ASL with English voice-over. Fluency in reading and writing American Sign Language is used as a bridge to teach written English. Although this is a new project, feedback is already coming in, and the results are positive. The project began in 1998. Below are some sample web pages about one participating school. Would you like your school to participate? Your students must be Deaf and use Sign Language. One teacher must be online, so they can receive technical support through email. Write for more information: The SignWriting Literacy Project The DAC, Deaf Action Committee For SignWriting P.O.
