<P>Hello,</P>
<P>Maybe some of you already know but my colleagues and me made the Goldilocks story 1 and 2 both in Right handed signs as in Left handed signs. Because whe have children at school who sign Left and the majority signs Right.</P>
<P>I also see the same as Marty, children using their left hand because they use the right hand to write. Strange thing is that the Left hand signers don't write with the Left hand, which would be expected. </P>
<P>I think children are able to read standard sentences in Right handed signing even when they have a dominant Left hand. It's when you get to the Polysynthetic Signs, it becomes complicated.</P>

<P> I think we should observe if Right and Left dominant hand has an influence on the use of Polysynthetic Sign. </P>
<P>Greetings Kathleen<BR><BR></P></DIV>

My observation of children I<BR>>have worked with who are begining to learn to write<BR>>signs is that more than half of the right-handers are<BR>>choosing to write left-handed signs. Why? Because they<BR>>are holding the pencil in their right hand, and<BR>>looking at their left to figure out how to write it.<BR>>Maybe this will change as they become more fluent<BR>>writers, or if they use the computer to write, but I'm<BR>>finding it very
common to do this with handwriting,<BR>>much more than I would have expected.<BR>>-Marty<BR>> ><BR>> > But what about writing signs?...Do your left-handed<BR>> > students choose<BR>> > to write left-handed signs, writing exactly what<BR>> > they sign, or do<BR>> > they write right-handed signs with no problem<BR>> > switching from the way<BR>> > they sign to writing the opposite hand?<BR>> ><BR>> ><BR>> > ><BR>> ><BR>> ><BR>><BR>><BR>>__________________________________________________<BR>>Do You Yahoo!?<BR>>Tired of spam?
