Handsigns: A Sign Language Alphabet by Kathleen Fain Overall good book, just a few things that stand out to me.
Positive aspects:
- The illustrations are well done and appealing
- The hand sign for the alphabet is a nice idea.
- Most letters are easily identifiable animals.
Negatives:
- Some animals are not as easily identifiable (Jackrabbit, Lynx, Nautilus, Urchin, Vixen, Xensaur, Yak). You must flip to the back to identify the animals.
- Some sounds are not the best for teaching sound letter relationship. (Fl blend for flamingo and X makes the Z sound instead of having it in the middle or end of the word where a child in early literacy would see it.
