Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Kids gobble cookies, blow bubbles, open and close a box of dress-up items, even sit on the potty to illustrate some of the 31 hand gestures taught throughout this excellent sign language video. Much like a mini video "dictionary," teaching focuses on word recognition alone--not the alphabet nor on full sentence structure--and covers a smart variety of simple verbs and nouns (based on American Sign Language and Signing Exact English). The format is simplistic but highly effective, and keeps the action moving. After the word appears on-screen, an adult carefully signs and pronounces it twice. Then, scenes flip open like book pages or spin like revolving doors to reveal several real-life examples; for instance, "grandfather" fishes with his grandson, eats cereal, and reads a book. More hand gesture repetition, performed by a culturally diverse group of grownups and kids, offers lots of practice time. Probably best used in the home or in a hearing classroom, this visually and audibly appealing 40-minute show comes from the folks who created Parent's Choice award-winning Baby's First Impressions series. --Liane Thomas

2.0 out of 5 stars Keep looking for something better, Mar 8 2008
This review is from: Talking Hands (DVD)
I found the first and only time I watched this very uniteresting and dry. The intructors had no emotion and were unengaging. My boys lost interest right away. It was tough to sit through and wasn't captivating at all. I wish that I had researched more before buying this video and bought something more kid geared since it is meant for them.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best!, July 19 2004
This review is from: Talking Hands (VHS Tape)
My son is autistic and non verbal. We were teaching him sign in therapy and this video was excellent help at home! It was a very big help for my husband and I as well. Much better than any books because you can actually see how to move your hands properly in this video. I loved this video! We still watch it even though my son knows all of the signs shown in it.

This review is from: Talking Hands (VHS Tape)
My son has a birth defect that causes speech delay. He had been going to speech therapy for months in which they were trying to teach him sign so he could communicate in some way until he could speak. Months and month he didnt sign one word. We bought this video and after watching it once he never had an interested in it anymore. Then we bought the signing time video series,and the next day he was signing and is now up to 40 signs in 2 months and still going strong! He is so happy to be communicating and he thinks it is fun! I highly recommend the signing time videos they are much much better then talking hands and fun to watch over and over again , my husband and I love to watch them too and the music is awesome!!!!
