<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">hello everyone, especially you, who work as teachers in Deaf Schools!<br>
<br>
I wanna ask you how old children are using SignWriting (at least reading)<br>
My Slovak colleague (opposite number) are making dictionary for children of
early age (2-6) with SignWriting as well. But I suppose that SignWriting can
use children at least at age of entering basic school (if they are tought about
SW). - at least 7 age. <br>
<br>
what are your experiences?<br>
thanks<br>
<br>
Honza</span></font></p>
