punctuation question

[Juliette Dalle]

Hello Kathleen

Interesting.. To Toulouse, we don't use yet the punctuation. The 
children don't write yet any sequences. We ask them to write some 
isoled signs. But they read some texts without punctuations because of 
short story or poem which doesn' need of punctuation. It is for later. 
However, I would like to know it if you will find a solution.

take care

Juliette
