Signs for ME: Basic Sign Vocabulary for Children

"Signs For Me" is marvelous! I know three children (2 of whom are not yet reading) ages 6-10 who are able to look up and learn new signs with little help from an adult (and sometimes with none at all). The reason is the format: English words are arranged alphabetically and by category, and each one has a picture with it. For example, if you look up "giraffe" you will see the word, a drawing of the animal, and a drawing of how to form the sign. The pictorial aspect of the language really comes through, as children can see that many signs "look like" the concepts that they represent.
