Colors and Shapes

You probably know that an egg is white and in the shape of an oval, but do you know the sign for it? Learn the signs for five shapes and eight colors, as well as for a creative selection of everyday objects that embody these characteristics. Learning any language, either spoken or manual, begins with vocabulary acquisition. The trilingual Talking Hands series offers readers a basic introduction to American Sign Language and features common words and signs from a broad range of subject areas. Photo cues combined with simple illustrations help English and Spanish readers begin learning signs. Each page illustrates a sign and shows the equivalent terms in English and Spanish, teaching children three different ways of conveying the same concept. These unique books help children broaden their communications horizons and expand their language skills.
