Personal Review: Signing Time Volume 1: My First Signs DVD
starring Rachel de Azevedo Coleman, Alex Brown, Leah
Coleman
I initially bought another (different) signing video and was extremely
disappointed, however Signing Time rocks! I have a group of 1 to 3 year
olds who have managed to acquire a sign language vocabulary of over 30
words in only 2 weeks! We watch the video together because I do not
know sign language either and the host of the show, Rachel explains
sentence construction and fingerspelling and the basics of signing with her
color-coded fingertips. Rachel makes it very entertaining and the children
and I enjoy the time we set aside to view the video and we reinforce the
words during the class day. I have a one year old who just waves her
hands around whenever she sees the video and has had purposeful hand
gestures indicating she wants an apple or is hungry! I have a three year
old whose favorite sign is "Help me!" What is particularly exciting is that the
children have begun spontaneously signing during the course of the day!I
highly recommend this series of videos! There are none better for an
introduction (and beyond) to sign language. The children in my childcare
are all hearing children and I believe that the combination of movement
(hand signs) with learning words and a different way of communicating can
promote neuron development in the brain thereby making it easier to recall
information and increase memory for a better transition to symbol
recognition and sight words. In pre-verbal children it can ease
communication problems and help with tantrums.
