I think signing is a great way to kick start language. We just used a handful , but they were really helpful. Thanks for participating!!

Katie,
I also started out with the Signing Time videos and thought they were fantastic. My girls slill LOVE to watch them. Another book that I found at the library that was helpful was Teaching Your Baby to Sign (Byer). Great Post (as usual)!!!!

I have this book and it is great. I’ve been slack in teaching all the signs, but we use a couple ones in particular to meal time as well. It has really helped make this time a little more pleasant! Great post! Thanks!

I used some signs with my son when he was little. I have forgotten about it with my newest but I think I will start again.

Michelle and Mareth,
The book I have at home is called “Baby Signs: How to Talk with Your Baby Before Your Baby Can Talk”. It’s written by Linda Acredolo and Susan Goodwyn, who I believe founded the baby signs movement. It’s an easy read with lots of background and science of baby signs. Really, and I’ll explain this in part two of the guest post next week, I learned most of my signs from the Signing Time video series, which used to play on PBS. Try your library for those! (Mareth, I have them mostly recorded on DVD now if you’d want to borrow I’ll also teach 10 basic signs in next week’s post.

Yes! Please tell where you learned the signs because I can’t find any good books!
