Thanks for the heads up on this project! I donated and hope his Kickstarter campaign is successful!

My Little Reader kids (ages 2 and 6 now) have also really enjoyed the first 3 volumes of Readeez music videos. You can watch most of them on YouTube now.

I just donated to their Kickstarter campaign, and thought I'd share the project with this board since this is where I was first introduced to their products. I have learned a lot from this forum! Thanks!

Signing Time has a new project on Kickstarter called Signing Time Sentences. In it, Rachel and teenagers Alex and Leah will teach kids how to put all the signs they've been learning into sentences with ASL grammar. It is 100% funded with 2 hours to go.  If you are looking for a next step, check out Signing Time Sentences.

After graduating from the Signing Time series, my family has enjoyed the first three Rachel and the Treeschoolers DVDs. We are anxiously awaiting delivery of the next 3 episodes. There is a Kickstarter campaign open to fund episodes 7-9. I thought I'd post the link here in case there are other families who might like to support it.

I'm one of those who wishes there was more signing in these videos, but there is a lot of other educational content and music that make them worth watching, in my opinion.

Also purchased The Solfege Train.  As an elementary music teacher, there are lots of manipulatives here that I can use with my lower grade classes, not to mention my almost-3-year old.  Thanks!

I've been checking these videos out from my local library a week at a time.  When I saw the Spanish Complete Backpack Set for $116.99 on Zulily, I figured it was a pretty good deal and bought the set.

Thought I'd share in case there are others who are interested in getting the Little Pim videos.

Very cool product! My daughter sure enjoys them!

Sounds very interesting! I put it on my wishlist at amazon.com.

Thanks for the heads up! Got four great new resources! I kind of like the PDF format vs a regular book--only print out what you need, and you can download them up to 3 times.

knstrick,

I try to look at the words in the lesson before it even starts in the "lesson content" screen.  I can see which signs I know, and have them fresh on my mind before the word flash.  I am pretty good at getting most of the signs in here, but I've been signing for 2 years.  I wouldn't have been able to keep up when I first started. 

You could look at adjusting the autoforward settings to try to slow them down, or just sign during the multisensory part.  You can also "customize your lessons" and turn the video off for the multisensory part if it is too much for your little one.  If I could "improve" LR, it would add a video of an adult or child signing the word during the multisensory part.  But, I know that teaching signing isn't the focus of LR.

When Ellie first started at 6 mo, she liked the ST videos but didn't always look at me directly when I signed to her.  I wondered how much she was really picking up and if my efforts were just being wasted.  But, I tried to be consistent, and I she did just fine over time.

I ordered our first Baby Signing Time videos when Ellie was about 6 months old.  She was a typical baby other than being super colicky for the first four months. We bought a few videos every couple of months until we owned the complete set of Baby Signing Time and Signing Time Series 1 & 2.  (I just found them at my local library. Wish I had checked earlier!)  Ellie had constant ear infections from 9 months until she had tubes put in at 14 months.  I am glad we had ASL, as I'm not sure she heard a lot with fluid in her ears constantly.  My husband thought I was crazy to teach her ASL as a baby, but once she started signing back, he was sold.

Ellie started signing back at 9 months and had a huge signing vocabulary by 14 months.  By 18 months, she started to recognize written words that she knew signs for, and started "reading" them.  I got YBCR at 24 months because she seemed to know so many words already, and she read (and/or signed) all of the flashcards in the set within the first couple of viewings of the YBCR videos.  Now we are using LR, and we sign the words as they are flashed.  She constantly amazes me with how many words she can read without assistance.  The LR Deluxe set just came in the mail and she read eight of the Very Easy books on her own, the first time we looked at them.  She is talking and signing well at 2.5, and she still loves watching Signing Time, along with the Scholastic Goodnight Moon ASL series, and other nursery rhymes and stories in ASL that I can find on Youtube.  I would definitely recommend the Signing Time series to new moms and dads!

I did get the Signing Time newsletter, and I am excited about these ASL story resources!

I also have the Scholastic Goodnight Moon 3 DVD gift set, and we love these stories.  Especially Little Quack, 5 Little Monkeys, Goodnight Moon, A Pocket for Corduroy, and Big Al. You can watch clips from these DVDs at http://www.aslinside.com/

I also searched youtube and found a sign language (Conceptually Accurate Signed English) version of Pete The Cat, which is my 2.5 year old DD's favorite story right now.  She quotes the whole book at least 3 times a day.

If you search "asl story for children" you will get a lot more to browse through.

What a neat site!  I'm a fan of Tubby the Tuba as well.  Love the crackling sound on the old recording.  Thanks for posting this! Karma to you!

I couldn't pass up this deal. I bought a few Signing Time dvds to give away as gifts.

You could try Baby First TV: http://www.babyfirsttv.com/

I believe they have shorter clips, but you can watch multiple episodes.

I have a couple of their apps on my iPhone that my baby likes.

Good luck!
