Good resource but get the version with CDs of all the artwork.......2005-12-01

Good resource book for design. But, even better- you can get 4811 icons/signs you see in the book on a CD as editable vector EPS files, all royalty free. The publisher, [...] sells it for two hundred fifty usd. I haven't seen it on Amazon yet.

A "Wow". A meticulously produced, comprehensive collection........2005-11-12

Wow! What a great book. I've never before seen such a comprehensive collection of contemporary signs, symbols and labels as this. They all look to be extremely accurate and well organized. There are interesting background essays on the many categories of symbols, such as the history and development of Braille, and a complete alphabetical index of all 4,811 images. I highly recommend this meticulously produced reference for your design (or any other) library.

American Sign Language.......2006-03-02

I purchased this book for my six year old granddaughter because she has been showing an interest in sign. It is one of the most beautifully illustrated books I have seen and the picture associated with each letter is something she can identify with.

Luminous illustrations and a different kind of ABC book.......2004-09-15

Laura Rankin's The Handmade Alphabet portrays the letters of the alphabet along with their manual alphabet counterparts in American Sign Language. Each letter receives one page on which the uppercase letter appears in a black, serif font in the upper-left corner of the page and is accompanied by a realistic illustration of a hand demonstrating the manual alphabet of American Sign Language as well as an object cleverly representing the letter. "G" is demonstrated by a gloved hand; "K" is demonstrated by a baby's hand holding a key ring; "X" shows an x-ray of the hand demonstrating the sign. The illustrations of the hands are done in softly luminous colored pencil on charcoal paper, with exquisite detail. The hands are of different races, sexes, and ages. This book focuses solely on letters, but does offer a key that lists the words for the objects portrayed with each letter. Of course this book will be useful for deaf children or children with deaf parents or friends who are learning the alphabet, but may be useful for other children as well to drive home the concept of abstract symbol systems and the different ways sounds and meaning can be represented.

A work of art.......2001-10-24

The beautiful illustrations - simple yet exquisite, worthy of framing. I first framed some of the pictures and presented them as gifts to some young deaf children with self esteem problems, but it was when I taught hearing adults and did the same thing that I really saw the great impact her illustrations had. It then became a "work of art"

Beautiful... Inventive..........2001-05-31

I found this book in our school library and was stunned by the artwork. I work in a school where the deaf children are mainstreamed into the school. Sign language books are always checked out! This is a big hit with the young students. I give the author an A+ for an excellent book!

Absolutely Beautiful!.......2000-11-22

As an artist, I loved the illustrations. I have always loved to draw hands, and these drawings are beautiful. I am also interested with the beauty and knowledge that signing combines, and this book conveys both wonderfully.

Excellent Signing Aid for Teaching and Learning.......2007-01-03

This book is great. My little boy communicates almost exclusively in sign language and we are having to learn along with him. This makes it easier to teach, and with the pictures, he picks it up pretty quickly.

needs lots of explanation for people who don't sign.......2004-08-29

Our daughter uses ASL to communicate and I bought this book for her nurses, thinking that it would give them some basic vocabulary to use with her. The pictures are very basic and it is hard to understand what kind of movement is going on. There are no written explanations for performing each movement. This makes it difficult for someone to know if the sign is correct. (Not important if you are using signs short term, but important in our case.) I highly recommend the Signing Time video series. Lots of very useful signs and the videos are just as interesting as Elmo or Barney to our daughter!

Beautiful book, great signs, wonderful for all ages.......2003-10-09

This book is wonderful. It is larger than I expected (9 x 7 in.) and the pages are full of very colorful images accompanied by a clear illustration depicting each animal's sign.

The book contains 16 pages and those pages are packed with images and signs - one for every letter of the alphabet.

Goldilocks & the Three Bears.......2001-10-11

The signs were well done. I have a Daycare in my home and the kids would sign with me until their arms would get tired and they would lay down and watch and listen and start up again when their arms felt better. With a story like this that the kids are familar it makes then want to learn to sign more and more of it. My kids will sign parts of it to their father is knows very little about sign, but is learning happily. It was an excellent purchase for us.

The book does indeed use ASL signs.......2002-03-01

..The line drawings are not the best...but it is a nice way to read and sign with your child, even children under the age of 2. Giving children, even babies, the means to communicate thoughts, ideas, or wants is such a gift, why hold them back because WE think we know what they can and cannot do. The reality is, when it comes to language learning, children have the upper hand on us adults. That said, I do feel the book is small, but the drawings are actually larger than some of the ones in Slier's books, which also have signs. Both author's books require that you do a little "deciphering" of the pictures, but these are still some of the only books that have the sign pictures right in there. Happy reading!

This book isn't what you think!.......2001-05-01

This has lovely pictures and drawings of signs, but they are British Sign Language signs, not American Sign Language Signs! This book and the others by this author, are published in Great Britian. I wondered why so many of the signs were "wrong" until I discovered the books origin!

Contrary to the widespread myth, sign languages are not universal. If you are looking to learn and use the sign language that is used in the United States, these aren't the books for you.....

Both my boys LOVE this book.......2000-07-14

Each night this book gets read. We were told that our 2 year old is profoundly deaf when he was 4 weeks. Although this was completely WRONG, he isn't even hearing impaired, he does have a speech disability, so we have used sign with him since he was an infant. Our 4 year old loves to sit down with "his baby" and go through the signs and pictures. It is a sturdy book and presents words that kids can relate to. Great pictures and sign illustrations.

Opposites is a good book for older toddlers........2000-04-02

My 14 month old son loves the sign language books I've given him. He likes the brightly colored pictures in this book and the close up pictures of children's faces. This book contains signs for words such as big/little, sad/happy, and wet/dry. The words in this book seem fit for a little older toddler to me, but he does really seem to like looking at the pictures. The black and white illustrations of how to do the signs are easy to understand. The book is also a nice size for little toddler hands. A big thumbs up here!

Someone who has this book, please list the nursery rhymes that are included in it. I don't know why editor's book reviews for books with multible contents don't list the titles included.

Not Beginer Signing.......2000-07-04

I am a beginer at sign and did not know the diference between ASL and Signed English. This book has simple Illistrations that are fun and chalanging. I purchesed it to learn to sign nursry rhymes for my 18mo. son. I quit using this book because I was unable to remember the signs very well. Now I am using video to learn the signs first. My son enjoys the pictures and I will learn the signs then the rhymes later. A good book but not for beginers.

Book Description

Picking up where Innovative Practices in Teaching Sign Language Interpreters left off, this new collection presents the best new interpreter teaching techniques proven in action by the eminent contributors assembled here. In the first chapter, Dennis Cokely discusses revising curricula in the new century based upon experiences at Northeastern University. Jeffrey E. Davis delineates how to teach observation techniques to interpreters, while Elizabeth Winston and Christine Monikowski suggest how discourse mapping can be considered the Global Positioning System of translation.

In other chapters, Laurie Swabey proposes ways to handle the challenge of referring expressions for interpreting students, and Melanie Metzger describes how to learn and recognize what interpreters do in interaction. Jemina Napier contributes information on training interpreting students to identify omission potential. Robert G. Lee explains how to make the interpreting process come alive in the classroom. Mieke Van Herreweghe discusses turn-taking and turn-yielding in meetings with Deaf and hearing participants in her contribution. Anna-Lena Nilsson defines “false friends,” or how contextually incorrect use of facial expressions with certain signs in Swedish Sign Language can be detrimental influences on interpreters. The final chapter by Kyra Pollitt and Claire Haddon recommends retraining interpreters in the art of telephone interpreting, completing Advances in Teaching Sign Language Interpreters as the new authoritative volume in this vital communication profession.
