[LM_NET] More Weeding Sign Language books

[Dorothy Cousins <dcousins@ISLAND.NET>]

Ooops! Another answer came:

. . .  there may be some who disagree, but I would try to keep books  
that teach ASL (American Sign Language) and weed out those that teach  
Signed English. There are two easy ways to tell the Signed English  
books - 1) they have separate signs for "I" and "me", "he" and "him"  
etc.2) they use English word order and have a "sign" for each English  
word. You might ask an ASL instructor from a local college to help  
(Is that overkill?) I have been takking ASL classes for several years  
now and share what I have learned with all my students. If there is  
interest and enthusiasm for sign language you might want to look at  
some dvds from Little Hands Productions. Sign Times is a great  
series, particularly # 13 "Welcome to School."
