The perfect book to introduce
sign language to hearing children!
Written for teachers of
hearing children from birth to age six, Simple
Signing is the perfect introduction to teaching
young children through sign. There are chapters
for infants, toddlers, and preschool children,
with age-appropriate signs. The chapter written
for teachers of infants focuses on using
beginning signs as a bridge to communicating
with words, while the toddler chapter focuses on
signing to promote expression, enrich
vocabulary, and teach social skills. The
preschool chapter places an emphasis on using
signs to enhance emergent literacy skills.
Each sign is illustrated
with a caption and one or more photos of a young
child or adult demonstrating the sign, making
them easy to understand and execute.
Instructions for putting signs together into
simple sentences are also included. In addition
to the conventional index, there is also a
pictorial index of signs to help you find what
you need quickly and easily. Simple Signing
shows teachers just how easy and valuable it can
be to incorporate sign language into daily
activities.
