QUESTIONNAIRE: Teaching Literacy to the Deaf

NICARAGUA IN SUMMARY

Anne-Claude - Before we move on to another country, I would like to summarize Nicaragua. I do not want to answer your questionnaire specfically, because I feel that James Shepard-Kegl already answered your questions through his excellent writing in the last message. Do you agree? I hope you will write directly to James, and start a dialogue together:

These are the two schools for the Deaf in Nicaragua that use SignWriting:

Escuelita de Bluefields
Escuelita de Condega

....were founded by...
....and are coordinated by...

ALSO, I would suggest reading SEVEN articles about SignWriting in Nicaragua on the web. Go to this web page:

And then scroll down....You will find SEVEN sections to read...

INCLUDING...

A COMPLETE THESIS ON SIGN LANGUAGE LITERACY POSTED ON THE WEB:

This is a thick thesis posted on the web in its entirety...

Please respond to tell us if this is the kind of information you need, Anne Claude - before I go on to five more countries!
