Signing Time

If your toddler is at least a year old, then you will not want to miss out on this wonderful series by Rachel de Azevedo Coleman and Emilie de Azevedo Brown, two sisters who created Signing Time to help all young children learn how to communicate using basic ASL signs. At this tender age, our children are desiring to communicate with us clearly, yet they don't yet have the words which can often cause frustration on both sides. With the Signing Time series, young toddlers are taught basic words like milk, mommy, daddy, water, etc. Each new DVD presents new words based on other themes like "Favorite Things" and "ABC Signs." This series is made for children with special needs, as well as for hearing children. Our daughter began watching this series when she turned one and we have now collected the first six volumes. It's interesting to watch her even now as she approaches her second birthday, when she really wants to make a point to us about something, she reverts back to using the sign language to ensure our understanding of her needs. And when she was about 18 months, she could say all of her ABC's to me while I signed each letter to her - it's absolutely wonderful to watch her brain process such an advanced concept! It's a fabulous investment for your own children or grandchildren and we've begun giving different DVDs as gifts for our friends with young families.
