REVIEW

This book is geared for anyone working/spending time with infants & toddlers (and honestly adults too). It’s a great way to start communicating with your baby before they are able to talk. Presented in an easy to understand format. Clear picture of the sign, instruction on how to make the sign, a memory tip to help you remember the sign. Full of commonly used words. Begins with 10 signs to learn especially for babies. Start signing these to your child as young as you can. They are watching and listening and will pick up it. I found ASL is a great tool to help with speech development. Remaining chapters are organized by order of usefulness including getting dressed, bath & bed time, playtime, animals, family, and feelings. I found ASL is a great tool to help with speech development. Highly recommend this book.
