Simple Signing With Young Children A Guide for Infant, Toddler, and Preschool Teachers

"Written for teachers of hearing children from birth to age six, Simple Signing is the perfect introduction to teaching young children through sign. The chapter for infants focuses on using beginning signs as a tool for communication, while the toddler chapter focuses on signing to promote expression, enrich vocabulary, and teach social skills. The preschool chapter places an emphasis on using signs to enhance emergent literacy skills." "Each sign is illustrated with a caption and one or more photos of a young child or adult demonstrating the sign, making them easy to understand and execute. Instructions for putting signs together into simple sentences are also included. In addition to the conventional index, there is also a pictorial index of signs to help you find what you need quickly and easily. Simple Signing shows teachers just how easy and valuable it can be to incorporate sign language into daily activities."--BOOK JACKET.Murray, Carol Garboden is the author of 'Simple Signing With Young Children A Guide for Infant, Toddler, and Preschool Teachers', published 2007 under ISBN 9780876590331 and ISBN 0876590334.
