Overview
Explaining how babies are developmentally able to communicate with signs long before they are typically able to speak, a step-by-step guide to sixty basic American Sign Language signs counsels parents on how to help babies who are too young to express themselves verbally, in a reference complemented by practical tips and true anecdotes. Original.
Publishers Description
Jump-start language and learning skills with this simple and elegant guide to using sign language to communicate with your preverbal baby.
Imagine averting a tantrum because your baby was able to communicate her desire for a favorite toy without tears, or simply sharing in your baby's wonderment at the sight of a bird on a tree-before he has even uttered his first word! Generally, children do not develop the motor skills necessary to speak until they are two, and yet they are able to communicate using sign language as early as six months. Written by an experienced signer and a mother of three, this illustrated step-by-step guide will allow readers to join the ranks of parents around the world who experience the rich rewards of communicating with their preverbal babies by using sign language.
Studies have shown that babies who are taught to use signs to express themselves before they can actually speak are more contented because they can communicate their basic needs (and ideas!) and also are more skilled at speaking once they begin to acquire language. Full of practical tips, real anecdotes, and straightforward diagrams of more than sixty basic American Sign Language signs, Baby Talk is the essential baby-signing handbook for parents, relatives, and caregivers-and their babies, who are just a little too young to express themselves verbally. |

 | Wonderful Book with Great Illustrations Oct 20, 2008 |
I bought this book to use for my ten-month-old son, and I really love it!
It begins with basic information and research about signing with babies and is very easy to understand.
I think it includes the perfect amount of signs - it has the basic need-based signs that I would want to use with my baby, plus some extras that would be fun. It also includes the alphabet and information on where to learn more signs.
My favorite part of this book is the illustrations. They are so cute, and so easy to follow - along with each illustration is a written explanation on how to make the sign.
This book is very helpful and is adorable. I would definitely recommend it! | | |  | Help for parents Sep 19, 2008 |
| This book has great illustratrions and includes both common & obscure words/signs. It is a very user-friendly & encouraging resource even for new parents! | | | | excellent Jul 9, 2008 |
| bought for my new grand daughter and my daughter is using it already and baby is only 4 months old. | | |  | Great info..not enough signs... Mar 10, 2008 |
| The information is great in this book. I feel that it is worth the money I spent on it. I do wish however that it had more signs. I did a lot of research to find a good book with more signs and I found a book titled Teach Your Tot to Sign. The author is Stacy Thompson. It is a dictionary more than an instructional book. It has well over 500 signs in it just for young children. I think that you should buy this book for the how-to's and the other for further signing. Good job. | | |  | not enough signs Feb 8, 2008 |
| I liked the introduction of the book, but I found that it really lacked in the number of signs that it gave (didn't even have a sign for brother). After reading it, I now need to get a different signing book to be able to continue signing with my baby. | | | Write your own review about Baby Talk: A Guide to Using Basic Sign Language to Communicate with Your Baby
