Thanks for your message and I promise I will answer the technical question shortly. Before I forget, I notice that you mention the Signing Naturally curriculum above. Several years ago I developed a workbook for teaching people to read and write in ASL, but I based that workbook on the Signing Naturally videotape for beginning signers. That workbook is now out of date because the SW symbols themselves changed and improved since the workbook was designed. But I was thinking last night that maybe I should "revive" that workbook? Do you think that would be useful to you? Essentially, all the vocabulary introduced on the Signing Naturally videotape is either written in SignWriting or the students are given a place to try to write it themselves. To use the SignWriting workbook, you would have to refer to the Signing Naturally videotape, which is sold by DawnSignPress. If you feel such a workbook would be useful, I can update it. Just wanted to ask all of your opinions about this idea ....
