SWC Members often share with their lists interesting websites they've discovered. I collect them all to share with you in each newsletter (I also throw in a few of my own). In the next issue, I'm going to start a section of Members' Home Pages. If you have a Home Page about anything at all, please send me the URL along with your name, and the list you belong to. You'll be famous!!!
Now read on....explore....and watch your "Favorites" grow!
The National Cued Speed Association (NCSA)
This is an interesting site that explains how the cueing of a traditionally spoken language works as the visual counterpart of speaking it. Cueing makes available to the eye(s) the same linguistic building blocks that speaking avails the ear(s). The site has a cued speed demo that you can download. Try it out!
