SLJ Review of American Sign Language
This series introduces young readers to common American Sign Language words, with each book focusing on a specific topic. The majority of each page is dedicated to the word being translated, while the hand movement illustrations are placed at the bottom. Expanding the space for these illustrations would make the finer details more visible. Each page also offers an interesting fact or an explanation of the sign’s meaning. The book includes an illustrated alphabet at the end, but since several pages ask readers to form letters, moving the alphabet to the beginning would be more helpful. Reflection questions are also included at the end of each book. VERDICT Simple to follow, though some layout improvements could enhance the experience. Recommended for collections in need of sign language resources.
