This easy-to-use guide provides parents and teachers the opportunity to teach more than 500 basic American Sign Language (ASL) signs to infants, toddlers and young children. Recognizing the need for a book that can be used at home and in the classroom, author Stacy A. Thompson offers fundamental signs that appeal to young children with concise instructions on how to sign, including the critical importance of facial expression. Hearing children, deaf children and children with special needs can benefit from the elementary signs this book features. The book includes 559 sign illustrations. [Stacy A.
