Signing Time! Volume 6: My Favorite Things

Summary: Signing Time -- WONDERFUL!
Review: I got Volumes 1-3 right after we had my 2 1/2 yr old tested for language delays. She barely missed the cutoff for services, but we were still concerned. She only had 30 word appoximations! Well, after watching the videos for 1 week, she had picked up 15 signs with the clear spoken word to match! by the end of 5 weeks, she could speak and sign all 100 or so signs from the set! (I also have a 4 1/2 yr old who has also improved with these videos. Plus, my 7 month old daughter is often enthralled with them. She recognizes the sign for "milk" and gets excited when we sign it!)

My husband is Deaf, so we do use sign at home, but she refused to pick up EITHER language. These videos provided a way for her to communicate! Now she is picking up the signs/words from Vol 4-6 just as quickly, and she is stringing words and signs together.

The songs are so fun! You will be singing them even if there are no kids around! I love these videos and what they have given to my daughter!! :)

Summary: I love these!
Review: I may be an adult, but these DVDs couldn't make it easier for someone like me - who learns better from a video than a book - to learn sign language. And 'Signing Time!' is FANTASTIC! The children modeling the signs are adorable, and Rachel Coleman's wonderful songs at the end help incorporate all the signs learned. I can't think of a better way to learn sign language - child OR adult - than with 'Signing Time!'

Summary: Time to Sign
Review: I studied ASL in college and was looking for a way to help my children learn a language that I have come to love. Signing Time has been an answer. My favorite Things has helped expand my boys' ASL vocabulary. It is really nice to have something this entertaining to support what I teach my boys'. My siblings, husband and parents are starting to sign after watching these.

Summary: This is definitely one of MY "favorite things!"
Review: My kids got Volume 6 of Signing Time for Christmas, and already my 21 month old daughter is naming colors as we're out and about. "Red car!" or "Green bike!" she says.

Signing Time is fun, but more importantly, it helps babies and kids to communicate more effectively. Afterall, if Mom understands what she's saying, a toddler doesn't have to resort to screaming in frustration. ;-)

Summary: Come and Sign with Alex and Leah!
Review: These anticipated products lived up to their expectations! My 4 year old and 20 month old love to sing, dance and sign with Alex, Leah, Rachel and their friends. We can, and often do, watch Signing Time all day. They have given us a means of communication that has helped with the "terrible twos" and word recognition. My husband and I find ourselves signing with friends and family and love it.

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: Volume 6 is awesome! I love learning the colors of the rainbow and fun foods that my daughter loves! This is been my sanity saver because my daughter doesn't have tantrums she isn't frustrated since she can communicate with me! I recommend this to everyone!

Summary: It's a Veggie, Veggie, Fruit, Fruit, Veggie Day!
Review: We can't get enough of Signing Time! My kids love this one! They are asking to eat fruits and vegetables that they would never touch before just because they want to be able to show us the signs that they are learning. This video also teaches a lot of action signs. Walk, run, sit, swim, swing, dance, sing. It's been the best. We can't sit still when it's playing. Great exercise for the kids. The best part of all is the song during the credits. "Shine" is a powerful song. All parents can relate.

Summary: What a fun way to learn!
Review: We have all 6 volumes of Signing Time and they are the best way to teach kids signing. Not a bad way for the rest of the household to learn either! We started signing with our youngest son, William, when he was a baby. When he started Early Intervention (he has Trisomy 21, aka Down syndrome), the speech therapist recommended signing not just for communication but also to boost his speech. After trying various baby sign videos, books, etc., a friend on an online board raved about Signing Time. Volume 1 had us hooked, and we quickly bought 2 & 3 and anxiously awaited news of more volumes. William absorbed the signs, and we watched his communication skills grow.
Our set of volumes 5-6-7 arrived shortly before Christmas and my husband immediately opened them to watch. William and his siter (7), have quickly picked up the new signs from them, and we all go through the house singing the different songs~ the favorite right now is "Do you know the colors of the Rainbow?"

Since the arrival of the new set, William's speech and communication have taken off at warp speed! His first day at school yesterday since the holiday break amazed his teacher and the aides. They wanted to know how he learned so much while on the school break. Of course I told them it was his new signing time DVDs! The first thing he did when we got to school in themorning was to go up to one of his friends and point to her shirt and say "Green shir... Nemo 'n Dori on" He's known his colors for a couple years now, but after watching the DVD he points out everything and signs & says the color. He didn't just tell them some of the new signs from the set, he was directing the other kids in complete sentences! Huge milestone for him! His aide said when they cleaned up to get ready to go outside, he said, "C'mon, les ge backpacks on 'n go outside!"
I even watch them when the kids are at school, in hopes that I can become more fluent in signing... momma's never too old to learn too!
