Our school is currently using Signing Time in an after school program to introduce and teach American Sign Language to children ranging in grades K-6. Rachel does a good job of desribing and demonstating the signs. The music and songs create an enjoyable way to reinforce the new signs learned.

As the mother of twins, one hearing and one deaf, I have had the opportunity to check out many programs for teaching ASL to small children. This is by far the best series out there. Most other products are so boring that parents must struggle to stay awake during the production, and there is no way a toddler would tolerate a viewing. My 2-year-old twins request Signing Time all of the time. At home they want the DVDs playing almost constantly. In the car my hearing daughter starts asking for the Signing Time CD before I even have her strapped into her carseat. My 2-year-old deaf daughter is using 5-sign sentences, which is almost unheard of for the deaf child of hearing parents. My extended family owns a total of 6 sets of Signing Time. Whenever my daughters' cousins have a birthday they ask for the latest Signing Time DVDs. Children of all ages love this product.

My son has Verbal Apraxia and we are teaching him sign. This video is a great asset to our learning all the farm animals!

GREAT dvd! My 23 month old loves this dvd. Although he's not really talking he's learning the signs for the animals. I would say this dvd is more for older kids. For example, my son wouldn't know the differece between a chicken and a rooster at this age. Great idea to add the non-farm animals too. The songs are great and our entire family ends up humming on of the signing time songs!

My kids and I both LOVE the series. So easy to pick up on and we have learned so many signs already. This one is so far our favorite!!

This video is great, my son loves it (he's been watching the series since he was 6 months) and his signing is progressing better than mine!

We borrowed one of these from a friend when my son was about 18 months and he loved it. I'd been trying to teach us signing from a book but once he started watching these videos, he started signing much more words. They are cute and entertaining and he asks for "signing time" all the time now. I get the videos from the library but this would be a great gift (hint hint to the grandparents). I will say the very first video is kind of basic and short but you can tell they were still working on their format and style. They get better as you go. If you search "Signing Time" online you can see how the videos came about and I really appreciate their organic beginnings. It's a very touching story. I'm so happy we discovered these videos!!!

I have volumes 1-4 of Signing Time. I love it. Not only does my little one learn, I learn sign language as well and the DVD's are fun. Lots of music

I love the Baby Signing Time and Signing Time line of videos. They can be expensive, but they are so worth the money! We started using the products when my daughter was 10 months old. Now she is 22 months and has over 150 signs. They are not all perfect, but she can communicate with us and always get her point across. In fact she is now signing four and five word sentances such as "I want more milk please."

Don't let anyone try to tell you that signing delays speach. It definitely does not! My daughter was signing before speaking, but now she uses both. There are many times we wouldn't understand her words, but because she is also signing, we know what she means. This has eliminated a lot of the frustration that is normally caused when a 2 year old can't communicate.

The bottom line is that we can highly recommend the entire Signing Time series. We love it and will use it again with our next child!

I love the song Leah's Farm...and was in hopes that there would be lots of similar songs on the cd....But it is mostly signing training for the songs....Overall it is an OK album.
