rockdrummer - The sign that Cheri describes is the one that I have used in ASL. You are using SEE, right? There is a SEE dictionary, Signing Exact English, Gerilee Gustavson and Esther Zawolkow, published Modern Sign Press. This is an other good resource book: Signing Exact English Using...

SEE uses signs from ASL, the modifications are used for representing the affixes, prefixes, suffixes and contractions used in English. The "root sign" remains the same. For example: grasses = ASL sign for grass with a "s" handshape to represent the plural form - grasses. Hope that helps.

inmate23: Do you have the vowel hand placements also? The hand shapes are for consonant sounds and the placements are for vowel sounds. I myself cannot speak for New Zealand, but would be happy to make some inquiries for you. :) The UK site has some on line lessons. Perhaps in the interim...

rockdrummer - I understand what you are saying regarding the inclusions of ASL. I am of the opinion that ASL should be taught by native fluent adults who are deaf. There are many different way for people to access instruction to learn ASL, one only has to Google it. Does that really make it ASL...

Lighthouse - You have made an excellent point!

Bottesini - I am not versed on the system of VP. From the little that I have read about it, there are 45 hand cues and symbols. :dunno: It seems to have more of a "speech" tool component only because the information I have read uses words such as "the plosiveness of /p/ - the air being released...

Deafdyke - Phonemic awareness and the ability to manipulate the same is a very important skill to have for all children for reading and obviously using the cueing when speaking will show the sounds. The nuances in spoken English, for example the word "hooked", we do not say a "d" at the end we...
