Early Learning Series “Signing Time!” Returns to National Television

Twenty-six re-mastered episodes are now available to Rosetta Stone Store public television stations to air. The series is being distributed by the National Educational Telecommunications Association (NETA) and is presented by Vegas PBS.Signing Time moves beyond mere entertainment. Parents whose children watch Signing Time videos know their infants and toddlers are learning. They are thrilled when their child begins to use signs at home to ask for things they want or share their feelings – even before they can talk. Parents soon discover that this early access to communication helps their young child feel less frustrated and more secure.“Their hands give them a clear and powerful ‘voice’ – quite a contrast to the whining and pointing traditionally associated with toddlerhood,” said Rachel Coleman, co-creator and host of Signing Time. “The truth is that using sign language Rosetta Stone V3 with babies and children who can hear is revolutionizing early learning and parenting in America.”Signing Time also offers powerful social and educational benefits to children ages 3-8. Research indicates that signing is an effective multi-sensory teaching tool for building vocabulary and early reading skills. Signs allow children to become physically engaged in reading and learning. As a second language, American Sign Language helps children communicate with their deaf peers and with children who must rely on signing for communication.ABOUT SIGNING TIME AND TWO LITTLE HANDS PRODUCTIONSSigning Time is a captivating and entertaining series produced by Two Little Hands Productions.
