Customer Reviews

worth buying- correct ASL signs

This is a great little book for kids, adults, and teachers. The signs are easy to follow with the colorful pictures. It is published by Gallaudet University Press. Gallaudet, which is a beautiful place by the way, is a University (primarily for the deaf) located in DC. Their publications have accurate signs, unlike many other "learn to sign" books. I have seen so many sign language books that are just mediocre and some that are downright terrible. If you want to teach your baby signs, this book would be a great start too.

I Can Sign teaches more than just signs

I am buying a second copy of this book. My son, now 3 1/2, was given this book when he was about 2 years old. I am a professional sign language interpreter and had taught him a few signs. However he picked up 26 new signs from this book. On one side a large and small letter is printed with a picture of the letter fingerspelled in sign language. Across on the opposite page is a picture of an object that starts with that letter, such as 'a' for apple. There is also a picture of the sign for apple. My son quickly learned to recognize both small and upper-case printed letters and to associate words that begin with those letters, along with accompanying fingerspelling and signs. My 1 1/2 yr old daughter is also learning from this book which is now falling apart from so much use.
