2.0 out of 5 stars Very Dissappointing, May 8, 1999

By 

Jennifer M Wood & Richard F. Wood (Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Perhaps the First Video Your Child Should Ever See: Beginning Reading & Sign Language (Ages 2 - 12) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After having waited over a month to receive this video I was so dissappointed in the type of words they chose to teach which were mostly animals, the quality of the video was poorly done, very choppy demonstrations which gave me a headache after I was done watching and the plain fact that I did not learn the alphabet which I would think is the first thing a beginner should learn. I guess I will have to take the class in college after all.

1.0 out of 5 stars It was very different from what I expected......, April 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Perhaps the First Video Your Child Should Ever See: Beginning Reading & Sign Language (Ages 2 - 12) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I did not like it at all. It was not for beginners. I was expecting to learn sign language alphabet and basic stuff of sign language, but I did not see any of those stuff. You will not be able to learn sign language from this video if you are a beginner. Quality of video was very poor as well. It was very amature work.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of words, no sentences., April 15, 1999

This review is from: Perhaps the First Video Your Child Should Ever See: Beginning Reading & Sign Language (Ages 2 - 12) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This tape offers a list of words, lots of animals, river, and other nouns. The words are shown signed, written in English and illustrated by real life photos. It is meant to be of interest to children and my not quite three year old grand daughter watched it and signed along. What it fails to show is the way deaf people interact using American Sign Language. For people already familiar with American Sign Language this video would help to build vocabulary. It does nothing to impart syntax or sentence structure. It would be greatly improved for my purposes if two people had presented in dialogue form: e.g. Where are you going? I'm going to the river. What is that animal called? It is a lion. And so forth. With what I learned I can now sign a word list, which is not useful skill for me.
