Hi James,
     You mentioned a drop in SAT scores at a time when SEE and
some of the other signing methods were becoming more prevalent in
the schools and conclude that is the reason, however, it does
perhaps correspond with the national decline in SAT scores and so
it is not necessarily proof conclusive that it is because of that.
     I like ASL for it's natural flow, and this is not an
endorsement of one method over the other as much as to say, that
those declining SAT scores is something the whole nation has
experienced and the fact that kids don't read recreationally as
much as they used to MIGHT be a contributing factor.
