By / 2 minutes of reading

Potty Time is the #1 potty training app in iTunes and Google Play! I can tell you from experience what children love most about this app is the video call feature. Rachel Coleman, the Emmy-nominated host of Signing Time and Potty Time, can “call” your child to say “Good job!” or “Try again!” with a short video. My son and a few of his friends were potty training when the app was released and they all wanted to call Rachel after trying to use the potty. They loved it! My son is potty trained now, but he still occasionally asks if …

President Obama converses with Deaf student – in sign language!

By / 1 minute of reading

President Obama caught on video using ASL!  As reported in Distriction Stephon stood just a few feet away from Barack Obama. The president, busy shaking hands, looked right at him. “It was like he was waiting for me to say something,” he said later. So the 26-year-old Prince George’s Community College student took his cue and spoke to President Obama in his first language: American Sign Language. “I am proud of you,” Stephon signed. The president, almost involuntary, instinctively, immediately signed back, “Thank you.” Another deaf student then signed to the president, “I love you.” The president smiled back at her and …

Sign language + story time = More fun and learning!

By / 3 minutes of reading

by Lane Rebelo, LCSW, Master Signing Time Instructor In communities across America, story time is a favorite activity at libraries, child care centers and preschools for good reason. Children enjoy stories that seem to jump off the pages of the book thanks to engaging extras like songs & rhymes, puppets, props, related crafts, or simply an animated storyteller who entrances the children with every word. Story times that incorporate American Sign Language can introduce families with young ones to a hands-on second language and add an appealing new twist, making story time even more fun, educational, and engaging. Why Story …
