British Sign Language: Teach Yourself: Book

Product Information

This book was originally put together in 2015 by Janice, with the assistance of Emma Gilbert, for the former BSL Level 3-320 unit.

Some studies put children, who have learned to use signing alongside speech, as 12 IQ points ahead of their peers. WCDP are working with a range of partners to develop and promote the use of sign language in Wales, in a partnership led by Bangor University. If you use a different sign or two from those we have in our books, simply swap them to the signs you already know.Children who have the advantage of clear communication opportunities, where the guesswork of what they want or need simply disappears, are more independent and far less stressed.

Fine motor skills are a crucial foundation for writing and drawing but also enable increased independence for those skills we need throughout life – the ability to dress ourselves (zips and buttons), brushing teeth – and later on, better control with cookery skills like chopping and peeling.
