My daughter loves these!

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2010

I started trying to teach my daughter with a mommy/baby sign class when she was around 6 or so months, and it took several months before she would sign anything back. I stayed with the basics, like eat and more. I figured there was no point in moving on if she doesn't want to use these two very common words. She did start signing back eventually, and I wanted to find away to foster this and continue with something that can be repeated. I bought volumes 1-3 of Signing Time, and she did seem to like them, but as with all infants and young toddlers, she has the attention span of a gnat. After several watches of each volume, she really started to tune in more, and started to get excited when her "friends" Alex and Leah were coming on. She was learning sign and her words at the same time. We then bought volumes 4-6. By 18 months, she knew over 30 words verbally, and about 10 in sign that she didn't say, plus there was some overlap. Now she'll be turning two next month, and she's been learning 1-4 words a day for a few months, sometimes both in sign and verbal. She LOVES these DVDs. In the past couple of weeks, she's been handing them to us to play, and calls them "Tummy Tum" and even does the signs for "Signing Time". When she points to the TV and asks for music, she means Signing Time. She squeals in excitement when these are on, and she dances to all the songs. She really does try to watch full episodes too, but she does get distracted easily still. These have helped her learn her words and her letters, as well as numbers just a bit, and we all learn sign language.

I have found signing to be very handy when she can't pronounce the English quite right, or when she adopts the same verbal word for two or more things. It's also handy in a movie theater, when she can't really talk but needs to tell me she wants to eat. Or when we're in a situation where she doesn't feel like talking, so she'll sign instead. It HAS NOT "virtually eliminated" the terrible twos as Rachel says in one or more of these DVDs. She definitely has her moments, but when I know she is capable of communicating, but is refusing, it's easier for me to ignore her until she signs or verbalizes what she wants.

My one complaint is that my daughter seems to identify a bit too much with Leah, and pronounces some words as Leah does. I'm sure this is transitory, which is why I have not deducted any stars. It's up to me to correct these things, and I know there will be plenty of other sources for mispronunciations as she grows up. It's why I don't like Baby Bear on Sesame Street, because I don't want my daughter learning to pronounce words like the character does. Leah, in a DVD like this, makes sense, as the audience will most certainly include deaf children, or friends of deaf children. And those of us who can hear will need to learn how they might pronounce something so we can make sense of it. It's like adjusting yourself to any accent. When you know where the person is from, it's easier to understand what they say.

I will say that in Volume 4, Rachel appears a bit low energy. My daughter hasn't noticed and doesn't care, so I'm not deducting stars for that either.

We will be requesting volumes 7+ for her upcoming birthday, or getting them ourselves.

My son is in love with Rachel (he calls her Meme)

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2012

Verified Purchase

My son (20 months and not hearing impaired) was first drawn to Rachel Coleman on Nick Jr. He especially loves her song, In a House. His favorite part of the song was when she points at herself and says me, me, me. He would point to himself and say my, my, my. After doing some research it seemed that particular DVD was not available so I ordered this one, Signing Time, Volume 1. I debated on getting the one for babies but since he would be turning two in a few months thought this would be a better investment. I really bought it for the songs but, oh my, he is in love with everything about this DVD. I ordered it and the first time he saw it was when we were going on a 12-hour trip to Florida. He was never interested in TV at all until he was about 14 months old and I want to make sure he doesn't turn into a couch potato and watch TOO much TV so I was against having a DVD system installed in our car. However, knowing how impatient he is and all the drama that comes with that, I agreed to let me husband have one installed right before our trip. My son first saw this DVD on this long drive and it is amazing we didn't wear this DVD out coming and going! He begs for "Meme" all the time. He thinks that is Rachel's name as in her song, "In a House", she says me, me, me. Everytime she appears on the screen he beams and says Meme, Meme, Meme. And he was learning the new words and signs amazingly fast! I could not believe it! I lost count of how many times I bribed him when he was having a pre-terrible two meltdown that we were getting ready to get in the car and go see Meme. It would distract him and he would be ready to ride in the car, something he has always hated to do! I'm hoping to add to the collection. I did think the DVD's were kind of pricey but I have to say so far this one DVD has been a great investment. Her website states that signing can actually help with the terrible twos and I do think it is worth a try! He has been so proud of learning the signs. It is so cute! And I think Leah and Alex are just adorable! The songs are stuck in my brain but thankfully the songs and other parts of the DVD are not annoying like some cartoons. And I haven't minded seeing/hearing it over and over, which is surprising since once I see a movie, I am not one to normally care to watch it again. It is very enjoyable. Can't say enough great things about it. My only regret is that I did not know about this when he was much younger. He has always been a high-needs baby and I think this could have possibly been helpful as young as four months or so. Thankful for it now though. My husband even likes it and has learned some signs! Fun for the entire family. :-)

英語でベビーサインをはじめたい人に！

Reviewed in Japan on May 10, 2011

Verified Purchase

ＡＳＬ（American Sign Language）を使ったベビーサインのDVDです。ＡＳＬとは、アメリカ手話の事です。
アメリカ手話を使って赤ちゃんとお手々でお話しができるようになります。

私は英語が全くダメですが、息子には話せるようになって欲しい。でも、お金をかけたくない。そこで色々調べている内にこのＤＶＤに出会いました。

息子が１歳６ヶ月くらいの頃にこのＤＶＤを購入し、２歳の今ではこのシリーズに出てくる全ての単語が話せ、サインも使えます。
Water、Airplane、Flowerなど、私には上手な発音で教えられませんが、息子は耳から入っているせいか綺麗な英語で発音できます。

主演のレイチェルさんは元歌手で、お嬢さんのリアちゃんが聾者だと判った時からＡＳＬを始めたそうです。
アメリカの教育番組で放送されていたそうで、楽しい音楽と映像で息子のお気に入りです。

注意事項として、リージョンコードは１なので、日本とは違うため、リーションコードフリーのデッキかパソコンで見る必要があります。
