I will be happy to look at your document and then I suggest that, with your permission, I could go into the Flemish SignPuddle and I can find some other signs too, for my diagrams and then we can finalize a wonderful and easy way to teach SignWriting spellings...we are on our way to finding an excellent solution ;-)</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>SignWriting is based on little universes all revolving around each other and with this visual imagery we should be able to have lovely diagrams created to help Deaf children learn to read...</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>It is Sunday and I am going to be with my parents this afternoon...They are so sweet!
