'  Hands Can Talk' Instant Reference Chart A2 size

Author/Illustrator Aileen Ryan

The 'Hands Can Talk' Instant Reference chart has been designed so that it can be placed within easy reach and clear sight for referencing as you teach  signs to your baby/toddler.

By placing in a prominant position you and others involved with your child will be able to check on their accurancy of the signs being done, learn new ones and be able to check if someone is unsure of what your child is trying to communicate.

The chart can be used on its own or together with the 'Tiny Hands' Australian Sign Language Book for Babies to Toddlers.

The 'Tiny Hands' baby book contains all signs that are shown on the chart plus an additional 195 signs for building both you and your childs' sign language and communication skills.

Features:

•  The chart contains 45 Australian (Auslan) sign language graphics in alphabetical order. The words selected for this chart were considered to be 'high usage words' for you and your baby/toddler.
• Each sign language graphic has a basic written english descriptions on how to do the sign.
• Each sign language graphic is done so that when there are two distinctive moves 1st move is in black and the second move in red.
• Included with your chart is information relevant 'To help with successful signing'. These are a number of suggestions and ideas that may help you with introducing and building on your childs sign language skills.
• The 'Hands can Talk Chart is a bright, colourful A2 size poster.

Aileen enjoyed keeping track of the twins progress with their signs and found that in later years the twins and others were also interested in knowing what sign they did first and how quickly they progressed. Keeping this in mind means that the chart comes in useful for teaching the signs and as a childs keepsake as you can always write next to the sign when they started doing particular signs..

The Instant Reference Poster and Tiny Hands Book would make an excellent Birth, Christening or Birthday present.
