We then laminate the covers and bind the books. The San Diego Foundation Dr. Seuss Fund , at the recommendation of Mrs. Audrey Geisel, funded one school participating in the SignWriting Literacy Project, for the 1999 Spring semester. The funds will also help with the costs of publishing and disseminating feedback from the teachers, for the benefit of future classrooms. The funding was used to develop and distribute the three specially-designed children's books, which are the first books donated to the schools who participate in the SignWriting Literacy Project. The books were first distributed in the Fall semester, 1998.
All donations are tax-deductible.
Nine schools for the deaf are waiting in line to join, but we do not have the funds to include them. Just a small amount can benefit deaf children for one semester. They will receive donated books, videos and software for the classroom, and the teachers are provided with free technical support. Complete documentation and grant proposals can be provided. Sponsors can even choose which school they wish to benefit.
