What a great program! Through her two-video/ DVD course, Jennifer Lamp, with her sweet, gentle manner, does an outstanding job of making even the most incompetent want to try. And, although you know she cannot see you, you cannot help but beam whenever she praises your accomplishments.
The complete course teaches over 500 signs through the use of DVD and a standard workbook with lessons, helpful hints, and important principles. Each lesson is designed around a character quality, and you are challenged to evaluate your life in light of the lesson's character quality.
There are three layers to each lesson. My favorite is the first layer, Little Ones. This is where everyone, but especially tiny children, learns a few words and then a simple song. These uncomplicated songs really help me to remember the words. The next layer is for slightly older children who will learn a few more words and a verse. The final layer is for the serious student who will learn even more words and some sign language principles. If your family desires to learn sign language, and your heart warms to any subject matter that is drenched in Biblical truths, you will be as enthusiastic about Signs for His Glory as we are.
Each course includes one DVD as well as one standard workbook. Additional supplies are available online. PSE (pidgin sign language), uses signs from both ASL and SEE (Signed Exact English), with many ASL principles. Those who learn PSE will have little difficulty communicating with both ASL and SEE.
This course teaches over 500 signs and 24 songs, as well as scripture verses and character qualities. The "bus stop" method was incorporated to make it easy to use for all ages. Course includes one DVD (11 lessons), along with student/adult workbook.
