Baby Signing - 100 1st Signs

For all those who want to encourage their children's communication and language development, we have selected over 100 first signs including the main regional versions, for young children from babyhood onwards.

The use of British Sign language (BSL) with very young children is an area of growing interest for its potential benefits to a whole range of children including;

- pre-verbal hearing babies
- deaf children
- children who are autistic or dyslexia
- with additional communication and language needs
- with learning disability

Signing adds visual and kinaesthetic dimensions - alternative channels that can potentially help all children to internalise language and take pleasure in its use.

Learning the basics of a new language offers all children an added life skill that can not only improve their own language and communication skills but that can give them awareness of difference and confidence to meet the communication needs of others.

Classes for families have sprung up across the country and provide an excellent opportunity for contacts and group learning and we hope that this application will further support this.

'Baby Signing - 100 1st Signs' includes :

- Over 100 First Signs, for early years
- Each Sign is supported by Image and Descriptive instructions
- Signs also useful for everyday use
- Hi-Resolution Image

The applications in this series can be built into a collection, but they must each be able to function as stand-alone items – therefore some of the 'core' vocabulary may appear across several different applications as required.
