Some children learn to sign the alphabet when they reach school age. But word-signs are accessible even to preschoolers who do not yet know the alphabet. The appeal is much the same as that of finger plays such as 'Eentsy-Weentsy Spider.' The benefits are without number. - Author Children have a lot to say, whether through gestures, movements, pictures, or words. American Sign Language incorporates all of these natural skills. To sign 'cat,' show a cat's whiskers. To sign 'bicycle,' just show the pedals. With pictures, clear diagrams, and hints, Simple Signs introduces even the youngest child to twenty-eight signs that are easy to learn and fun to do!
