Sign Language more advanced book?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I'm not sure if I am posting this is in the right forum.

I am looking for a more advanced but kid-friendly book for learning sign language for my 3 year old.

We did baby sign language with him when he was younger using Baby Signing Time videos and the Josef Garcia books. He had a speech delay and really took to signing. He still loves to sign and has a renewed interest in it lately.

He knows all the signs from the Baby Signing Time videos and from our old Sesame Street books that have illustrations from the National Theatre of the Deaf. I know he would love the Signing Time videos, but we are trying to limit screen time.

Any recommendations for a book for him? Maybe a signing dictionary organized by theme rather than alphabetically? Or something else?

The Baby Signing Book

Love the topic of baby sign language! My book The Baby Signing Book covers 350+ ASL signs and language development from 0-3 years of age. I've included a lot of suggestions, songs and games that focus on each language milestone. You may find it helpful.

We also have a new DVD out this year, called WeeHands At Home that teaches 33 American Sign Language signs and 10 songs done in ASL. 50% of the proceeds of our DVD go to the Deaf Professional Arts Network.

See www.weehands.com for more information!

Teach your Tot to Sign has more than 500 asl signs geared to kids. I loved it though found it lacked in a big choice of healthy food signs. http://www.amazon.com/Teach-Your-Tot...5006984&sr=8-1

Thanks for all the great suggestions!

I think he would like the dawnsignpress one since it has pictures as well as the sign illustrations, but now I'm tempted to also get a larger ASL dictionary for me to use as a reference.
