Signing Friends

The Signing Friends series is written by Suzanne Miell-Ingram MBE and illustrated by award-winning illustrator Sarah-Leigh Wills. The books(with accompanying tuition videos featuring Suzanne and Tracy) aim to equip you with the skills and confidence to read and sign with your child/children at home or at school or nursery. Stories are the perfect vehicle to help learn and embed Makaton signing and are a fun and child-centred way to learn. The text within the books utilises familiar vocabulary from the Makaton Language Programme. Happy signing!
