Paws Signs Stories without Books - SOFTWARE FOR THE DEAF - Paws Signs Stories to teach ASL and early skills
Product Information
From our new collection of educational software designed especially for the hearing impaired! The five stories in Paws Signs Stories are original. They utilize strategies found to be successful in teaching early reading skills, such as repeated phrases, patterned language and predictable structure. Each story also teaches something about ASL. Each story has three games (i.e., 15 in all), each focusing on a different skill, such as visual memory, visual sequencing, literacy, spelling, math, and creativity.
Product Features
- The ASL classifier for "car" is used in the story I Love My Car. The story also focuses on opposites, like "in" and "out," "over" and "under," "wet" and "dry."
- We learn how location affects the telling of a story in ASL in I Can Play Outside
- In I Like Many Things, a girl talks about all of the things that she likes. Each thing is signed using the same handshape in ASL, the "1" handshape, so some of the signs are similar and encourage the use of visual discrimination skills.
- Time to Wash teaches addition, subtraction, and colors as a little girl hangs clothes on the clothesline.
- And I Walked Some More follows a little boy as he explores the zoo. His descriptions of the animals shows how facial expression is crucial when using adjectives in ASL.
