There are three separate classes on different days. We started yesterday. The students are really enjoying it.

style="font-size: 14px;">Valerie, thank you for caring to divulge our website (www.librasescrita.com.br) here in the list.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">There are more than two years researching a lot SignWriting in Brazil and worldwide. During this time we have seen that this system of writing is wonderful and fully functional. Raquel is deaf and learned SignWriting very easily.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">In our country many people know the SignWriting superficially or have ever seen in any book, in Internet or in dictionary of Libras, but do not really know how to use SignWriting correctly. We have some researchers in this area, but most people still have myths surrounding this writing.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:
14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">So, since last year are working to spread the SignWriting in Brazil. The time is short toresolve as many things. Open roads is not easy... These last two months we have worked non-stop!</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Next month we will launch a book teaching SignWriting. The book has two chapters that present theoretical history of various writing systems or notations for sign languages, the history of SignWriting in Brazil and abroad, and also makes public the result of extensive research done in Brazil and other countries .</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">In the following chapters present the SignWriting step by step with many pictures andexamples of Libras. Write a story directly into SignWriting. It is divided into a part of each chapter. This story is
not a translation of the Portuguese and was not built in video. It was written directly in SignWriting and has many deaf characters. It was really cool!</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">The book has a total of 246 pages and was the foreword is of the teacher Ph.D. Marianne Rossi Stumpf, a deaf pioneer researcher of SignWriting in Brazil.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Soon we will send the invitation to the launch list. The book can be purchased on site as well.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Greetings of peace and well.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Hugs to
all.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Madson and Raquel Barreto</span></div></div></div></body></html>
