• Great Book For Learning Sign Quickly And Fun 15 March, 2008
We have an autistic child and she is a very visual learner. Signing has encouraged her to understand more of what we are saying and she has even started to sign many things herself. Great book to help encourage such behaviour!

• Great Beginner's Guide! 02 August, 2007
This book, while small, is packed full of everyday, useful phrases in ASL! The colorful photos make the motions clear and easy to replicate. The format also entices children to explore the book and ask questions! I recommend this book for any beginner who would like to pick up a few useful signs! They should turn this into a small series!

• We Can Read Your Sign 08 February, 2007
For both adults and toddlers, this is a very user-friendly "keep it simple, keep it fun" introduction to American Sign Language. When my four-year-old grandson's speaking ability was damaged after an accident over two years ago, all members of my nuclear family acquired from Amazon several copies of this book in order to become familiar with basic statements and with the sign alphabet.
Thanks to a lot of therapy and special education, his speaking ability is very much improved now and will probably be close to fully restored by the time he enters Kindergarten. Nevertheless, we always know where our copies are in the event we need to ready ourselves to communicate to hearing impaired persons.

• Good Primary Basic Booklet 11 September, 2007
This little book is handy to learn the most basic of signs.
It is simple to understand, and I used it to help teach mentaly impaired folks to communicate with our new deaf family member. It is not a conversational teacher, but as said, good and easy to learn the alphabet, colors, numbers, & simple questions. The pictures are clear, but scattered accross the pages.

• I Like Everything But The Layout. 13 June, 2007
This is not a comprehensive textbook on sign language, but then again, it doesn't purport to be. What more can a person expect in 48 pages?
The subject matter is conveniently araged in categories, such as colors, sports, faily relatives, and emotions. When a sign bears some relation with the item being signed, the author makes certain that the reader notices the relationship.
The book is replete with colorful cartoons and color photographs of children performing signs. However, I wish that the layout artist had read the Dartnell Advertising Handbook, which states that no more than 5 elements should be included on a page. The titles, text blocks, photographs, and cartoons are superimposed on each other and scattered helter-skelter. I agree with the anonymous reviewer of July 5, 2003.
One more concern: many of the signs involve signing the initial letter. The book purports to deal with ASL, but this factor makes it look suspiciously like Signed English.
