[Sw-l] Presentation

[Dale Spoor]

For a number of years we have been providing sign language workshop for
deaf children on our sister island, Ometepe, Nicaragua (Nicaraguan Sign
Language).    Last January a delegation went to Ometepe to teach
SignWriting to the people who attend our workshops.

A very good introduction to basic SignWriting I used when I was learning
 is the book by Valerie Sutton:  "SignWriting Basics".  On the SignWriting
website, if you click on books, you'll see this one in the upper left-hand
corner (the cover has a man in a red shirt in three different poses). It's
only about 15 pages.    A much more detailed version is the Signwriting
book by Steve and Diane Parkhurst, which I think is #6 at this link-- close
to 150 pages. You can download or buy either of these.
