Kimberly...your daughter's teachers might be interested in the
SignWriting Literacy Project. Perhaps you could show this information
to her teacher?:
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.
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? Students must be Deaf and
use Sign Language. One teacher must be online, so they can receive
technical support through email.
