Title: Sign language curriculum for kids
Review: If you are trying to learn sign language, this isn't the book for you. There is not a single picture of a word being signed in the entire book.It is not exactly ASL friendly. There are also no examples of ASL gloss. Words such as "of, is, a, to, be..." are included in vocabulary lists. The author explains that the book is meant to be used by either ASL, Pigin, See, or even Mannually Coded English users, and is not sign specific.If you are already fluent and wish to teach school aged children (the children must be able to read for some of the listed activities or games), this is a fairly good resource.There are suggested vocabulary lists and practice sentences, as well as suggested games to play, a few activities to copy and print for the group, and suggestions for reviewing past vocabulary lists. It is written in such a way that a fluent teacher should not have to spend a lot of time planning and producing lessons.
