By / 3 minutes of reading

By / 3 minutes of reading

With our 17 Signing Time Instructors here in Colorado, I thought, “We can do this!” I also thought that since the state is divided by the Rocky Mountains, we should do two events – one for the western slope and one for the front range. Then I went a little crazy (OK, a lot crazy!) and decided that since families may be driving a long way, why not put on …

National Board Certified Teacher is Making a Difference

By / 2 minutes of reading

This guest blog is by Signing Time Academy Instructor Vickie Wood in Norman, OK and is part of our Making A Difference series. Several years ago my daughter discovered Signing Time when she was looking for a way to teach sign language to my grandson Cameron. Cam was about 2 years old then and he quickly learned not only to sign along with his spoken words, but to read and spell as well. After seeing the many benefits he and my other grandchildren experienced, I started using Signing Time in my special education classroom. Using ASL in the classroom has …
