I just thought I'd show a few photos of how we read together and sign. It's been difficult to come up with a method that allows for use of our hands while not having to hold the book! We use a bean bag and a small tray table to give us space to put our books. I always keep my Signing Exact English dictionary near me to look up words that I don't know. I've found this to be the best way for me to remember vocabulary...putting words into the context of a book is so helpful! Burke also enjoys looking at the dictionary and is very patient with me as I learn!
Our journey to learn and promote Signing Exact English (SEE)as the primary means of communication for our 3 1/2 year old son Burke. Our hope is to share ideas, tips, struggles and triumphs from a parents perspective!
