Random House Webster's Concise American Sign Language Dictionary:
This is our most popular resource. Just about any sign that
you might want to look up is at your fingertips. If, for example,
your baby is excited by seeing a helicopter go by, this resource
is your best bet for taking advantage of this 'teachable moment'
to show your baby how to sign 'helicopter.' We also like the
explanations that describe the movement of the sign to supplement
the illustrations of the sign movements. This book is published
by Gallaudet University, the world's only liberal arts college
for the deaf. $7.50 Purchase Now
Pick Me Up! CD/Activity Guide: This is one of the most awesome resources available!
Developed in cooperation with parents, caregivers, and
early childhood educators, this CD/Activity Guide
inculdes 20 original songs written for Signing! Each
song has a unique musical style, including a great Carribean song about being hungry and thirsty,
a fun Frank Sinatra spoof about needing a diaper change,
and a zippy country ditty about getting hurt. The
activity guide contains the lyrics for each song,a mini-dictionary to go along with each song, and activity ideas to help you Sign and play. One of our top sellers, this is an absolute favorite of children and adults of all ages. This book makes an especially nice birthday gift or teacher/caregiver gift! $36.95 Purchase Now
Sign with your Baby: We like this book because it covers
the theory and research behind the idea of signing with your
baby, and it gives additional instruction on how you can introduce
your baby to Sign Language. It includes a Sign Language vocabulary
section with illustrations and movement descriptions for a
small selection of age-appropriate words. Joseph Garcia, who
has pioneered the research on the benefits of using Sign Language
to communicate with pre-verbal, hearing children, wrote this
book. This book makes an especially nice baby shower gift! $14.95 Purchase Now
Sign with your Baby, Quick Reference Guide: This is a great complement to the Sign with your Baby book or a useful stand-alone reference. It includes pictures of a small selection of age-appropriate Signs as well as bullet-points reminders regarding how to introduce your baby to Sign Language. This laminated, fold-out card can be used to document the Signs your baby is using, and teach other caregivers these Signs. This resource also makes an especially nice baby shower gift! $9.95 Purchase Now
