5.0 out of 5 stars You won't be disappointed, December 19, 2004

This review is from: Signing Time Volume 4: Family, Feelings & Fun DVD (DVD)

The *theme song* isn't as catchy as it used to be (they changed a few of the words and slowed it down) and are only 1/2 hour long, per volume, but other than that the new videos are every bit as good as the first three... and the other songs are all wonderful.

They've added a cartoon character named Froggy, who acts a lot like the puppets in "Baby Einstein", introducing each new theme.

The new songs won't let those of you down who enjoyed volumes 1-3, and she covers several words in volume 4 such as: "Grandma, Grandpa, Cousin, Aunt, house, home, outside, tree, grass, leaf, clouds, rain, snow, hat, coat, boots, gloves, grumpy, excited, surprised, afraid, love (and the compound sign "ILY")... and those are just the words I remember.

Rachel's wearing colored paint (latex?) on her hands, which is a bit distracting, but I think the idea was so that the children would be able to tell which fingers she was using.

My three year old is trying to sing one of her new songs even as I type this. LOL I should mention he's speech delayed, and Signing Time has been very instrumental to his language skills. The songs, the children in the videos, and the bright colors all draw him in and get him excited enough to want to share what he's seeing. Getting him to *want* to talk is half the battle, and signing time makes it easy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Signing Time does it again..., March 28, 2005

Rachel has such a way of teaching kids to sign and have fun the whole time. There have been signs I've been working with my son for a few years that he showed little interest in. Until we got this volume and suddenly, he started signing them enthusiastically! As with the previous volumes of Signing Time, William (4½) quickly learned all the signs in it. He loves singing and signing along with Rachel, Alex and Leah.
I know some parents are concerned that signing might impede their child's speech development, but we have found just the opposite here. William has Trisomy 21/aka Down syndrome and apraxia. Signing Time has helped him with Total Communication~ when his speech hasn't been clear, the signing helps him refine the word. I've found that as he watches Signing Time and the repetition of each new word introduced, William is more apt to repeat the word with greater clarity each time. He loves to go around labeling things he's learned from the videos, and then he wants to know more, more more!
This is another must-have for a video library!

This review is from: Signing Time Volume 4: Family, Feelings & Fun DVD (DVD)

I own the first four volumes of this series and feel that they are excellent resources for teaching young children to communicate effectively. My four-year old niece viewed them once and was using the signs very well within minutes. Reinforcement by other family members kept her using the signs for the full two weeks of her visit and she was teaching her toddler brother to sign as well. My infant granddaughters who are seven and eight months old watched the videos and seemed to be fascinated by the small children on the DVD and the bright colors and music. This series is great for parents and children and makes learning ASL fun. I am planning on purchasing the whole series.
