| Research Abstract |
Sutton Sign Writing (SW) is a unique system to ‘write’ signs on paper. Japanese Sign Language (JSL) can be effectively written using SW and with some slight modifications to the software, SW could be improved so that it could write any sign language in the world more precisely. Furthermore, SW has formations that are similar to Japanese Kanji Characters. When SW was introduced to deaf children in a trial study, it seemed rather easy for them to describe ideas and they had a positive reaction toward writing signs. Therefore, there can be a new approach to literacy education for deaf children by‘writing’ and ‘reading’ sign languages written in SW.
