Sign Language....?

Question

Hello,

I work with a hearing impaired child. Does anyone know any good sites online that have sign language pictures that are not just of the alphabet. Thanks

Answer 1

Check out Sign2Me.com -- they publish the "Sign with your Baby" book and DVD, plus a lot of support materials (flashcards, posters, placemats, etc.).  Their audience is mainly parents or teachers using ASL (not made up signs, which the Baby Signs company uses) with hearing children, but the visual materials would work great with a Deaf or hard of hearing child, too.  Sign2Me also has a network of presenters who teach signing classes and work with early-childhood ed. programs, so you may want to inquire about that for your program.  That way your whole staff can be learning signs at the same time, and work them into their everyday activities with all the children.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Wouldn't the ASL have a sight?  If not try this http://www.lifeprint.com/

Answer 4

Check this site out:

http://www.signingtime.com/

I haven't seen this lady's presentation, unfortunately, but I hear she's excellent.  Last year they sent me a few materials free of charge and there is a lot of information on the web site.  Try clicking on Learning Centers and select from the pull down menu.

We use sign language all the time in our classroom, with all the children, and it's great.  We often have children in our group who NEED it, and it just flows along naturally since we're using it anyway.

Answer 9

There is also a great television program called, "Signing" and it is on the PBS channel.  My son is in his 3rd year of pre-school (age 1 year to 4 years old) and therfore his 3rd year of signing.  It is wonderful!  He is well on his way to his second language!

Answer 10

i know this doesn't answer ur question but i just wanted to write in with a little experience i had with this topic.....i taught my 30 kinder children last year up to 50 different animals and many of the basic words such as toilet, house, car, drink etc.......  i didn't have a hearing impaired child though i thought it would be great for the children to learn some different ways to communicate........  The children flourished and picked them up much easily then myself.  i then had to go on to harder things such as learning the alphabet and each child learn't how to say there name......  I think any child would benefit from learning any sign language and u urself as an educator.  i guess it also helps the children to accept differences in their society and appreciate everyone.......

Answer 11

www.forestbooks.com  is an online bookshop for the Deaf and Deaf issues.  You can get all kinds of posters/cds/ flash cards for children.

Answer 12

www.aslpro.com has a great online dictionary with tons of videos so you can see how words are signed, not just look at a picture and try to figure out what to do.

Answer 13

There's a book on deaf and sign language.

It's called, "Signing" by various authors.

I'm learning sign language for myself too.

Good luck finding it.
