Synopsis

380 signs - 60 A4 pages - ONE TOPIC PER PAGE - 36 TOPICS which include....

• My Family
• Out and About
• My House
• At the Nursery
• Food and Drink
• Bed Time
• Useful Phrases and many more.

A much needed introduction to British Sign Language (BSL) vocabulary organised in topics to suit young children's surroundings and everyday environments.

It is intended to encourage all the family members, teachers, classmates and all those in contact with children who sign to get involved, and also to support carers, child-minders and nursery staff in providing inclusion for all children.

(BSL is used in the education of deaf children and also forms the basis of sign systems such as Makaton and Signalong used in the field of special needs/learning disability/autism).

The useful topic per page format also provides a ready-made structure, making it an ideal resource for classes and signing clubs and an easy reference guide.

We hope that this book inspires all those in contact with children who sign, to learn more.
