Book Review
I Can Talk
with My Hands
Written by
Kristine Vreeland
Review:
I read this book to my
kindergarteners a little while ago and we had such a good time with it. The
story is called "I Can Talk With My Hands." It was written by Kristine
Vreeland and the pictures were taken by Michael Jarrett. Notice I did not say it
was illustrated by Michael Jarrett-I said he took the pictures. This book is
full of great photographs.
The pictures show a young
boy in lots of different places and through the story he shows you the
"sign" for some of the different words used in the story. Yes, talking
with your hands means using your hands to make words-it is called
"sign" language.
In this story you will
learn about eight (8) different signs that stand for words and you will see a
picture of the boy making the sign with his hand. At the end of the story, there
is a page with the sign language alphabet that I thought was very interesting.
Scroll down to see the book cover, a picture of the sign language alphabet, and
some words from the book.
This is my dad. My dad can
talk with his hands. This is how I say "DAD." Now you try it.
My dad helps people. He is
a police officer. This is how he says "police officer." Now you try
it.
Enjoy-Mrs. L. (JLResource@aol.com)
