SignWriting List August 26, 2000 Cecilia and Everyone - Thanks for this great input - Yes...Reading SignWriting is easy enough that it is not forgotten, and can even be achieved by some with little training - and that is encouraging because it makes it possible for new teachers, who feel insecure, to get involved anyway. Since their students will be reading quickly...the writing can come later and will become more natural in time...which should put less stress on new teachers to get started.... -- Val ;-) ----------------------------- Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org To Post A Message To The SW List: SignWriting List Archives: https://www.egroups.com/group/sw-l |
