Great starter book for ASL

This is a great starter book for learning ASL. I homeschool and we have learned so much from this book and continue to use it on a DAILY basis. I like the dictionary format, which makes finding specific signs quick and simple. Definitely worth the purchase price.

I work with kids with hearing impairments and this book is a great tool to anyone who is trying to learn to sign. It is clear and easy to follow. I highly recommend it to anyone trying to learn to sign.
