Sign Language Animations: 11 Words About Everyday Items

I'm with allbery 11 -- forcing your readers to go to the "next page" after ONE SENTENCE (most likely so you can increase your page views for advertisers) is ridiculous and almost always ensures that I will not read your articles. Please CHANGE YOUR FORMAT. Or risk losing readers.

I am really frustrated! I am trying to print some of the articles and I REALLY wish that when I bring up the version for a printer that it would give me the whole article_ not 1 of 12, 2 of 12, etc! Why on earth do I have to go through and print each one! I don't have enough ink OR TIME to print each and every one!!!

I found sign useful with my children. I spoke in full sentences, but emphasized the spoken word when pairing it with the sign (e.g. Do you want more? / signing the word more). This allowed my children to communicate before they were developmentally ready to speak. Additionally, as they did begin to develop verbal language they used the signs less and less and eventually disappeared all together. This technique actually fostered language development and eased frustration.

please, read everything and dont focus on just one part of someones comment...and try not to be so defensive, either, cause theres different strokes for different folks. even if s/he WAS saying it was all bad, perhaps s/he believes studies are twisted to support whatever the person asking for the study wants...a lot of times, they are.

blakeisfake@excite.com SAID not to make it the primary form of communication. maybe thats why. maybe not, we dont know. but, when used WITH verbal communication, signing does help social and communication skills. AND can allow a child to develope early verbal communication. blakeisfake isnt saying dont sign, or that its all bad. s/hes just cautioning you to not make it the primary form of communication because THAT can lead to developemental delays in speach, since you dont talk while you sign.
