latest book is a guide for teachers and parents who want to introduce
signing in hearing children's language development. It provides a
complete explanation for why sign is effective, offers a short history
of sign language and its primary use within the Deaf community,
identifies the steps to reading success with sign language instruction,
delineates the results of research studies, and presents the reactions
of parents, teachers, and students in their own words. I show how sign
language can be used to improve hearing children's English vocabulary,
reading ability, spelling proficiency, self-esteem, and comfort with
expressing emotions. Signing facilitates communication in the home,
allowing babies and young children to express their needs without
frustration. In the school, signing |

| aids
teachers with classroom management, and has been shown to promote a more
comfortable learning environment while initiating an interest and enthusiasm
for learning on the part of students. Read
