Quick Overview

Sign language is an extremely valuable tool for children as they learn to read. Studies have shown that children who are taught sign language as a part of their reading instruction score higher on standardized reading tests. Studies have also shown that babies who learned and used signs scored an average of 12 points higher on IQ tests than their non-signing peers, when tested after second grade. While all Signing Time products are useful, these four selected products are specifically focused to "jump start" early literacy skills. Perhaps, the greatest literacy benefit to be gained by including Signing Time products in a child’s education is the amount of explicit vocabulary instruction included within the program. Every Signing Time product includes several representations of each word. These include but are not limited to the signed word, written word, spoken word, photographs, illustrations, and video.

Story Time DVD

Story Time is a hands-on approach to reading, featuring six original stories that incorporate signs for bugs, family members, activities, animals, vehicles, feelings, colors, fruits, and more. First, Rachel will teach you how to sign key words from each story in American Sign Language. Then she’ll read the story to you while signing those key words. Listen, watch, read, and sign along with Rachel as the words to each story appear on the screen.

Practice Time ABCs Level 1 DVD

In Practice Time ABCs, host Rachel Coleman teaches you the alphabet in American Sign Language and quizzes you on what you've learned. Using clear, simple instruction, Rachel demonstrates each sign, and then sums up all of the letters in the Alphabet Song, so you can sing and sign along! Once you’ve mastered the alphabet, Rachel leads you through a series of interactive fingerspelling exercises. Rachel fingerspells dozens of words and you get to practice “reading” what she’s signing. This exercise is an excellent way to reinforce early reading skills with young readers!
