Hello :-)<br>
<br>
My deaf-born son Samuel (6 years old) is with me for the Weekend, together with
his 2 younger sisters, Madita (4years) and Rabea (2 years) - both sisters are
hearing but can communicate with Samuel with signs.<br>
And as i practiced signwriting today, Samuel looked at me very curious. So he
would try this too. I gave him a print-out of Goldilocks (level 1) book. And
here attached i must show you the very first signwriting he ever done. He had
never wrote signwriting before.<br>
<br>
And he really liked to write this <span class=moz-smiley-s1> :-) </span>(for
a short time) - he has the 'problem?' that he can never be attentive on one
thing for a longer time, he is always soon distracted (even if there is no
distraction around) - but i'm happy that he asked and tried to write by
himself <span class=moz-smiley-s5> :-D
</span>i showed to him the difference between 'white' and 'black' symbols, and
he quickly understands (will see tomorrow if he will continue on this - hope
so).<br>
<br>
Is it possible that one can take 'goldilocks' (or other
signwriting-child-literature) and translate it in other languages? The reason i
ask this is, in Luxembourg deaf-children are learning German language in School
(with signed German - but not German Sign-language) But at Home we always try to
'speak' to him in DGS (Deutsche Gebärdensprache), so learning him signwriting
from a Book who uses ASL, i think he will get not much benefit of this, so
maybe i can </span></font><b><i><font size=5><span style='font-size:18.0pt;
font-weight:bold;font-style:italic'>try</span></font></i></b> to do this
book(s) in DGS? To what must one pay attention for that the book will really be
"Level 1" ?<br>
<br>
<i><span style='font-style:italic'>Thanks Val </span></i><span
