A Very Useful Book

I purchased this book (along with "Everyday Signs") for myself so I could learn enough to teach my six month old twins. This book contains 19 of the most important words for an infant (like milk, more, want, and ball). Now that I know all of these signs, I use them constantly with the babies and know that they will be imitating me very quickly. My three year old also really likes this book because it is very colorful and user-friendly. He is proudly using some of his new signs with the babies - which is such a sweet thing to watch.

Perfect Start

I have been looking at other books and videos to start teaching my 14 month old child. Tried others and they just could not hold his attention. The video musical approach both holds his attention and allows him to easily mimick the other children. Then in our reading time, he remember the signs as we read the book. A great combination! After about two weeks, I am noticing him using some of the signs and He definitly responds to sign when I do it. I love having a way to communicate at this early stage in his life.

Great starter book for new beginners

The Signing Times series is wonderful! I highly recommend the books and the videos. The pictures are easy to understand and very colorful for your baby to enjoy. My baby just signed his first word ("milk") after about a month of exposure to the books and us signing it with him. Very exciting to see your child communicate with you at an early age.

My kids love these books!

These books are the perfect companion for the Signing Time DVDs. My 2-year-old twins love to pick up and read these books. My 2 and 3-year-old nephews also love to read these books. There is the picture, the sign, and the word for the concepts on the DVDs. I have no doubt that these books will help my children as they learn to read words without pictures by them.

Wonderful!

We got this for our 20 month old for Christmas. She will look thru the book over and over again. (she's never been better behaved in church!! :)) She can figure out most of the signs by looking at the animated picture and the clear, easy to read photo of how to do the sign. The text describing the movement of the signs help mom and dad make sure its being done right. The best ASL book I've seen!
