Book Description
This authoritative guide helps caregivers, teachers, and librarians to support early literacy through signing with children up to age six. Each of the eight chapters contain a variety of activities featuring American Sign Language, such as games, fingerplays, songs, and crafts, which help children develop language learning, improve communication and self-expression, and raise their self-esteem. Illustrations of the relevant signs are prominently featured throughout the book, and the activities have all been tested in the author's own "Little Hands Signing" classes since 2006. The practical guidance is perfect for adults new to signing as well as those familiar with ASL and wanting ideas to enhance learning and communication with babies and young children.
