Program Summary

The smartest playtime activity, hands down it's Signing Time! Play, sing, and sign along with Signing Time while learning American Sign Language! This multi-sensory program introduces children to a "hands on" second language. It is natural and fun for them to use their bodies to communicate. Research shows that, when empowered with even a few simple ASL signs:

babies and toddlers can express their needs through sign long before they can speak (resulting in fewer tantrums!)
school-aged children can develop larger vocabularies and better reading skills while learning a second language
children with special needs or developmental delays can find their own "voice"

Signing Time makes learning sign language easy and fun for the whole family.

With an unparalleled multi-sensory approach (encouraging learning through three senses: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic), Signing Time reaches children with diverse learning styles and abilities by encouraging interaction through signing, singing, speaking, and dancing.

Featuring the remarkable Rachel Coleman, her daughter Leah (who is deaf), Alex (Leah's cousin, who can hear) and their animated pet frog "Hopkins", the Signing Time series teaches hundreds of ASL vocabulary-building signs that are useful in daily life. Charming animation, children who sign, and delightful songs make any time Signing Time!
