Summary: Excellent reference manual for Sign Language
Comment: I took sign language courses in college, and this was the textbook that we used. It is an excellent reference manual which provides a multitude of signs applicable to everyday life. The author begins by explaining that his book features signs most consistent with Manually Coded English (MCE), letting the readers know that Pidgen Sign English (PSE) and American Sign Language (ASL) may differ somewhat in signs and syntax. He then provides a thorough review of how to interpret the illustrations which are used to portray each sign in the book. The black and white human figure line drawings which illustrate the signs are clear, simple, and easy to replicate. The book is well-organized, as each chapter offers signs related to a single concept or idea (eg, family). Also, the book begins with the most commonly used signs and gradually progresses to signs which allow the expression of more complex situations and ideas. At the end of each chapter, there is a list of sentences for practicing the new vocabulary words learned. When I was taking sign language classes, I found this to be an excellent teaching tool, and now that I am trying to teach signs to my nieces, I find it to be a wonderful resource.

Summary: Best sign language book for students
Comment: I have been taking ASL for the past year, and this is by far one of the best books I have seen. It shows the difference between signs for ASL, Signed English, etc. I have checked this book out of our local library three times, and now have decided to buy it for myself. It includes many signs for words that have multiple meanings, and explains the difference for each. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Signs of the Times
Comment: A wonderful text for beginning signers. I use it in all the introductory classes I teach. I was taught formal signing from Dr. Shroyer and this is a wonderful representation of what he taught all of us students in class. I will continue to use it as I teach sign language.
