Signing is very well demonstrated. I have been able to teach my grandson a few more words. Thank you

I bought this video when my daughter was 12 months old. By that time, she had learned about 10 signs. As soon as she started watching this video (and Vol 2), her signing exploded! We moved on to the first 10 videos in the Signing Time series. She's almost 16 months old and knows about 170 signs. The music and repetitiveness were very effective in teaching her (and me) the signs. This is a must buy. Forget Baby Einstein signing videos. They won't do the trick.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Baby-Signing-Time-Volumes-1-2-Plus-2-Music-Cds/dp/B000GHIVNU/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Baby Signing Time Volumes 1 & 2 Plus 2 Music Cds</a>

This book is an intelligent, research based method for communicating with your prelinguistic child.  It offers many signs to teach your child while encouraging parents to make their own signs too.  I have taught my son "thirsty", "hungry", "more", "let-me-out", "kitty", and "fan."  He has taught me "vacuum cleaner", "bird", and "music."  My boy is 11 months-old and we communicate.  I expect that our signs will increase in an exponential manner.  It only requires consistent effort.

My grandson just turned 14 months old.  We have use signing as a learning tool for him since he was about 9 months.  It is very interesting to watch him attempt to make the various signs.  When it rains he uses the sign to say rain, snow and frog.  It is very interest to see how this DVD on Signs keeps him interested.  Will look for other Sign Language DVD's as he grows.

Great way to teach a foreign language.

I have just started to use this book.  It is very simple to follow with pictures to show how to do each sign.  For those who have never used sign language before might need to look up a few of the signs to see EXACTLY how to do the sign.  I have taken courses in sign language, so this came very easy for me.  Either way, it is a great book!

I have not yet started Grade 6 Spectrum Writing, but am using Grades 5 and 7 with my children this year.  I like them so much I know for sure I'll be doing Grades 6 and 8 next year.  My children are turning out wonderful writing since they have started using Spectrum.  The directions are clear and easy to follow.  Even my 5th grader, who has been a reluctant writer up to this point, is writing great things.

I am trying to teach myself sign language, and I have purchasd many books on this subject. This book is one of the best I have used, and I would recommend it to anyone who is trying to  learn sign language alone.  The  illustrations and the directions are easy to understand and to follow and  perform.  I especially like the Bible memory verses at the end of each  lesson as well as the suggestions of songs and the sentences for practice.  There are two videos that go with the book and they help a great deal, but  the book can "stand alone" in successfully teaching the novice  how to "sign".  The videos give extra help in that they offer  practice sessions for review.  Cathy Rice gives clues for remembering some  of the signs..and that is a great help for me.  I can totally recommend  this book (with or without the videos) to anyone who wants to learn sign  language. I also use The Joy of Signing to great advantage.  However,Sign  Language for Everyone is more relaxing to work with.

Having experience with American Sign Language for almost 10 years, I have read (and own) a great many signing books and dictionaries.  This is by far the best.  The drawings are easy to understand (which is often not the case with many books), and is accompanied by a text description as well.  Each entry also has  suggestions of the origin of the sign, but also can help a student remember the word as a memory aide.  There are many signs in here that other dictionaries do not include, though it (of course) doesn't have everything.  The signs are usually "modern" versions of a sign (as languages change and adapt), unlike some books which have very old signs or even signs exclusive to SEE signing.  I would recommend to anyone learning ASL.

As far as signing DVD's go, this one is a steal. The production is done in an aesthetically pleasing way: wonderful classical music accompanies beautiful images of toys, objects, and nature to illustrate the signs. The program is pleasant to watch, and the music won't grate on parental nerves.

As one reviewer noted, the woman demonstrating the sign does seem a bit stiff; however, this is a plus for beginning users of sign language as her demonstrations are easy to follow. She shows each sign slowly and carefully, which helped me learn them quickly.

What I liked less is that there seems to be more time spent on showing toys and other images rather than on kids using the signs ("Signing Time" is much better in that regard). For example, for "frog," there is gorgeous footage of all kinds of pretty frogs (real and toy), but few instances of actual signing. Also, the kids featured in this production often don't use the signs correctly, or they perform them in a way that isn't easy to make out, so it may be difficult for your toddler to imitate the correct movements just by watching this program.

I'd say if you want to use this DVD, place yourself next to the tv screen so your toddler can see you. Then keep repeating the sign demonstrated by the woman as well as the word that is being introduced while the images are shown. That way, your toddler might catch on faster.

Overall, I would recommend it, especially at the price.

This is a very good program.  It helps you learn the proper hand formations and gives you a visual example of how to do each sign.  It also has a conversations section where you can learn to read the signs.  It's almost like having a study buddy.  I recommmended it to a friend.  I rated it a four because a few words are not in it, but I just looked them up in my sign dictionary.

Love all the Baby Signing Time videos.  Compared to the Signing Time which are geared to older children, the Baby Signing Time use songs for each mini lesson which is so helpful for teaching the signs to my daughter who seems to be a musical learner (she has Trisomy 21/Down syndrome).  This video has great songs and fun signs about cars and toys and bedtime routine.  Very helpful.

I make certain to watch the videos with my daughter so I can not only learn the signs but see how she actual signs them so I know when she is using them.  She picks up the signs quite easily and uses them daily.  And contrary to what I have heard from some, she has increased her vocabulary through signing.  She says every word that she signs and those were her first words, too.  She even signs Baby when she wants to watch Baby Signing Time.

I bought this book for my 18-month old son so he can communicate with me before he could talk. I had been taking ASL classes since he was 6-months and I found the book a good way to introduce it to him, reinforced with my own training. He mastered all the signs before the age of 3. He continues to enjoy reinforcing the signs he knows and I still sign to him now.

Incredible! I've been looking for some way to teach my kids easily. Using this we were all able to clearly understand what we were learning and even get a video demonstration of how to correctly sign the number. Hope there are more on the way.
