VHS Movie Reviews of Talking Hands: A Sign Language Video For Children [VHS]
Movie Review: Good DVD for ASL Sign Language
Summary: 5 Stars
Having owned and used the Baby Einstein's DVD "First Signs" for my infant granddaughter, I was pleased to find this DVD using the ASL sign language.
She is now a toddler, and ready to learn more signs. Already she knows quite a few signs at the tender age of 16 months. This DVD has a much clearer presentation of each sign than the Baby Einstein's version. Not only does it include basic words, but it also includes the alphabet and counting. A minor complaint is that I wished they did not use all CAPS in their words because it would aid the child in also learning to read each word as they "sign" it. Another plus is that the DVD is divided into chapters making it easier to present just one segment at a time. At the end of the DVD, it also presents a quiz testing the viewer's knowledge of the signs. The producers also included some "special needs" kids in their video which I thought was a nice touch.
Summary of Talking Hands: A Sign Language Video For Children [VHS]
Kids gobble cookies, blow bubbles, open and close a box of dress-up items, even sit on the potty to illustrate some of the 31 hand gestures taught throughout this excellent sign language video. Much like a mini video "dictionary," teaching focuses on word recognition alone--not the alphabet nor on full sentence structure--and covers a smart variety of simple verbs and nouns (based on American Sign Language and Signing Exact English). The format is simplistic but highly effective, and keeps the action moving. After the word appears on-screen, an adult carefully signs and pronounces it twice. Then, scenes flip open like book pages or spin like revolving doors to reveal several real-life examples; for instance, "grandfather" fishes with his grandson, eats cereal, and reads a book. More hand gesture repetition, performed by a culturally diverse group of grownups and kids, offers lots of practice time. Probably best used in the home or in a hearing classroom, this visually and audibly appealing 40-minute show comes from the folks who created Parent's Choice award-winning Baby's First Impressions series. --Liane ThomasEducational VHS Video
