"As the mother of twins, one hearing and one deaf, I have had the opportunity to check out many programs for teaching ASL to small children. This is by far the best series out there. Most other products are so boring that parents must struggle to stay awake during the production, and there is no way a toddler would tolerate a viewing. My 2-year-old twins request Signing Time all of the time. At home they want the DVDs playing almost constantly. In the car my hearing daughter starts asking for the Signing Time CD before I even have her strapped into her carseat. My 2-year-old deaf daughter is using 5-sign sentences, which is almost unheard of for the deaf child of hearing parents. My extended family owns a total of 6 sets of Signing Time. Whenever my daughters' cousins have a birthday they ask for the latest Signing Time DVDs. Children of all ages love this product."
Favourite of all the Signing Time! DVDs

"Most likely my favourite of all the Signing Time! DVDs. Shows ASL signs related to colours, fruits and vegetables and activities. This DVD is presented well and is a lot of fun to watch. The vocabulary and language concepts presented make it great for all children, especially 2-3 year olds."
Fantastic

"My daughter (now 20 months) just loves signing time. Because she is in a dual language household (her grandmother speaks only Japanese), her language skills have been slow to develop. Signing has helped immensely with helping to communicate with her. All of the shows are her favorites."
Great ASL!!!

"I took sign language in college and learned the value of it immediately. When I had my daughter I immediately started using a few signs and found that she picked up eat and more at about 5 months. Then I found the Signing Times DVD's. I was so excited so I bought them all and started watching them with my daughter. These DVD's are the best thing I have bought for my daughter! She is 2-1/2 now and knows about 60 signs! I have never really had a problem with temper tantrums and our communication is wonderful! Plus she speaks so clearly already. I am very proud of her! I would recommend these videos to anyone - with or without children. They make learning some sign language fun!"
