Signing Time is a great video for anyone wanting to show their children how easy learning to sign can be! I am a presenter/Teacher for hearing parents of hearing children, using Joseph Garcia's Sigh with your Baby program in my classes and workshops. This video is one that I show my parents as an additional video to purchase. The signs are very clear which makes it easy to understand and it appeals to not only children, but to the adults that will watch it with their children. The music is great and will hold your child's attention through the entire tape! This is a MUST HAVE tape for your children!

This is such a fun way to teach your child better communication skills and a second language. We started teaching our son some basic signs that we had seen in a baby book when he was one year old (I wish we would have started even younger). We were amazed at how much it helped us to know what our baby wanted. He could express some of his wants without crying (like to tell us he wanted more of something or that he was all done) and we didn't have to play guessing games to figure out what he wanted. Now that we found this Signing Time video, at age 22 months, our son's signing and speaking vocabulary has expanded immensely in just a few viewings. He loves the video and asks to watch it instead of his old favorites. This video is so well done with a mix of animation, real kids and music. Our 5 and 7 year old nieces love it too and remembered many of the signs after just one viewing. It is great quality, a super educational opportunity and exceptionally entertaining (even for adults). Every baby and young child should have one and parents can feel good about teaching their child a second language and helping them develop positive communication skills.
Rating: - Excellent learning video
I am an interpreting student at a college for the Deaf, and I recently took on the task of teaching my hearing, two-year-old niece how to sign. Since I am not able to be around all of the time, I decided to purchase some videos to reinforce and enhance her aquisition of the language during my absence. This video, which is geared toward hearing children, has definitely been the best purchase in many respects. Most importantly, it does an excellent job of capturing, and holding, her attention. It also does a wonderful job of establishing the connection between words/concepts and their corresponding signs. The video is also great in regard to viewer participation. Signs are not presented strung together in confusing songs that are impossible for a child to imitate, as in many other children's signing videos. The signs are simply presented and then visually reinforced by other children in a way that encourages the child to follow along.
