Use this tape after you finish a tutoring session to review sign vocabulary. If the signs you want to learn go by too quickly, replay the tape. If you still can't catch the signs, try fingerspelling the words, using gestures, pointing to the pictures, or acting out that section of the story. Later, make a note of the section that is giving you trouble and ask your tutor for clarification the next time you meet. Remember that this VHS is designed to help you practice signing the story. Practice makes perfect! The time you spend learning to sign this story will pay off. Each time you read a story to your child, you increase your child's reading abilities and establish an important link between you and your child. It's a connection that will last a lifetime.
