This is a wonderful book for parents to learn to sign common signs in ASL with their babies。 It's written by a deaf author and has a lot more thorough information than I'm used to in baby signing books。 I really appreciated the hacks to remember signs。 They were clever and helped me keep them straight。 My daughter and I have been learning ASL for a few months and this was really helpful。 I also appreciated that it goes beyond the signs to answer questions and explain more。I read a temporary digi This is a wonderful book for parents to learn to sign common signs in ASL with their babies。 It's written by a deaf author and has a lot more thorough information than I'm used to in baby signing books。 I really appreciated the hacks to remember signs。 They were clever and helped me keep them straight。 My daughter and I have been learning ASL for a few months and this was really helpful。 I also appreciated that it goes beyond the signs to answer questions and explain more。I read a temporary digital ARC of this book via Net Galley。 。。。more

My sister-in-law just had a baby and we were talking about the subject of this book， teaching signs to babies for communication。 But neither of us knew any sign language。 Then I happened to see this book when I logged into Netgalley。 I immediately wanted to read it！ It has 50 of the most common signs that would be useful to teach a baby。 First it has a picture of how to sign the word， and then a verbal description， including variations on how your baby might sign a word。 It is something that I h My sister-in-law just had a baby and we were talking about the subject of this book， teaching signs to babies for communication。 But neither of us knew any sign language。 Then I happened to see this book when I logged into Netgalley。 I immediately wanted to read it！ It has 50 of the most common signs that would be useful to teach a baby。 First it has a picture of how to sign the word， and then a verbal description， including variations on how your baby might sign a word。 It is something that I hadn’t thought about before， but just as babies when they start to talk， sometimes have their own simplified version of a word， so a baby learning signs might create their own version of a sign。 It mentioned what to watch out for。 I highly recommend this book for an expectant or newborn mom to see if this is something they would like to incorporate when they teach their babies to communicate。Note: I received an advance copy of this book through NetGalley。 。。。more

My kids are interested in sign language after meeting a teacher that visited their classroom and from watching a tv show。 When I saw this book available I immediately requested it。 It shows how to sign and gives a description to each word presented。 Simple and quick to learn for my little kids。 Thank you to the author and Zeitgeist for a copy。

I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher， for which I thank them。A number of years ago， I took ASL and fell in love with the language。 I had read （or was told？） that young children can often communicate before they can speak - and ASL was a way to help the communication flow。 When my child was about six months old， my partner and I started signing to our child。 After one memorable experience （fussy child wanting something and parent being clueless until parent asked corre I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher， for which I thank them。A number of years ago， I took ASL and fell in love with the language。 I had read （or was told？） that young children can often communicate before they can speak - and ASL was a way to help the communication flow。 When my child was about six months old， my partner and I started signing to our child。 After one memorable experience （fussy child wanting something and parent being clueless until parent asked correct question and child signed desire）， my partner and I knew - continue doing ASL until the verbal skills were solid。 So， whenever I see a book about ASL and babies - I want to review it because it does work - as long as you put the effort into doing it consistently。 Now， to the adorably illustrated “Learn to Sign with Your Baby: 50 Essential ASL Signs” by Cecilia S。 Grugan。 If you want 50 real ASL signs to communicate with your child and have your child communicate with you， Grugan has selected a good basic set of signs with which to begin。 There are illustrations to assist with how to do the signs and the book mentioned QR codes to see a video of the sign being done （the eARC I got didn’t show the codes， but I assume they will be in the printed book）。 There’s also a link to a website showing the signs being performed。 Grugan also suggests activities to do to reinforce the signs that， to be honest， I found a little out there （if the actives are ones you like， do them; they were not all my cup of tea）。 I would’ve liked a chapter on animals。 Grugan suggests the word “duck” due to bathing time but makes references to plushies - so I was hoping for cat， dog， fish， bear， and the like （yes， the signs are accessible by searching online but with my child “dog walk” became a baby-modified ASL phrase often signed）。 Overall， a cute book with a good selection of beginner signs （and I liked the “your child may do the sign in this manner” hints） and some good ideas for incorporating the signs into every day use。 。。。more
