YIYDONG 24 American Sign Language Posters ASL Posters for Toddler Kids, ABC Sign Language Flash Cards, ASL Alphabet Poster for Classroom Decorations 17x13 inch

Solid quality, was the perfect size, full of color, the size made is easy to read and use.

My grandson has a hearing disability and these are GREAT! Very helpful for us too!

I bought this product for my daughter who's non verbal so it's educational for us both. I like that it is coated so you can wipe it off but I wish it were a little thicker to last longer but other than that I love it!

Great

Somebody went to a LOT of work designing these posters, and many of them are good. For their ingenuity and dedication alone, I’d have to give these posters four out of five stars…but for the life of me, I can’t help wondering who these are meant for. The 2-year-old toddler in my life is exceptionally bright, and prior to these posters, she’d already learned several very practical signs she can use such as please, thank you, more — all very practical signs — for example, if her mouth is full but she’s ready for “more food please” she can already sign it! But in no way, shape or form will she be ready for most of the signs in these posters unless at some point in the future she takes up a real, live three dimensional course of study in American Sign Language (ASL).As a hearing person fluent in ASL who’s lived and worked within the deaf community for enough years to have been mistaken for deaf, I can safely say that this collection of posters is operating on several vastly different levels of learning readiness. In the title, the product advertises this for “Kids, Babies, and Toddlers” — and that’s just a no go for me. For example, the COUNTING poster can be used for a toddler because there are visual clues, such as the way one apple reinforces the sign for one, and that’s fun… but having now reviewed this entire collection, I must point out that most of these posters are NOT geared for babies or toddlers — they’re meant for much older children who’ve already learned reading and writing. That way, they’d be able to cherry-pick their way through these images as prompts and reminders helping them to learn some fun signs.The product description promotes these as great for a classroom setting, and even with having already established they’re not viable for students any younger than first, second and/or third graders…it still should also be made more clear that the required companion for posters such as these to work in any meaningful way would be a parent, sign language teacher or classroom teacher who’s fluent enough in ASL to first be able to sort all these posters out to reflect the appropriate level of learning readiness and then prepare lesson plans, with video &/or physical demonstrations to supplement and illustrate the actual movements required for each sign. With a willing partner such as this, any early grade school age child can certainly learn many signs - and that’s a very good goal.The reason live, interactive teaching supplemented by instructional video is essential for learning sign language is that no two-dimensional drawings — albeit with wavy lines and arrows — can accurately convey the three-dimensional nature of sign language. Some drawn prompts provide better reminders than others, but they’re still just partial cues; no one can comprehend or convey a three-dimensional language via two-dimensional drawings. By way of illustration, on the EMOTIONS poster, there are two pictures for the signs “surprised” and “scared” — one for the first position of the sign, and the second - with arrows - is for the movement in the sign. These could work well as reminders, or prompts…but only IF there’s a live human and/or video present who’s demonstrating the movement. Very much like on the EMOTIONS poster, there are also two pictures for each sign on the OCCUPATIONS poster, which is helpful…but only as supplemental reminders to three dimensional experience and demonstration of ASL. By the way, the best, most explicit poster is the one for COUNTING: each prompt shows a hand indicating the number — such as one index finger pointed up for “one” — each illustration of the sign is then coupled and reinforced by a drawing of that concept, such as the drawing of one apple. That particular page is excellent… but the rest are truly a mixed bag.Finally, while it’s true that teaching “Baby Sign” is proven to be an effective way to help tiny toddlers get past “the terrible two’s” by providing them with some ways to communicate some basic wants, needs and feelings at a much earlier age than is required to master spoken English, it must be pointed out that as its own distinct language, ASL has its own grammatical structure, one that is by no means a word-for-word translation of English grammar. Instead, it’s a fluid three dimension language that truly defies any two-dimensional representation. That being said, I believe that rather than conveying so very many stand-alone vocabulary words, the manufacturer might have done well to have instead focused on teaching a bit about the structure of American Sign Language - how ASL sentences work - and then help the child put some of these signs to use. By way of illustration: unlike spoken English, ASL has a “topic, comment” sentence structure, so whatever noun you’re discussing goes first. Simple examples: “I want to climb a tree.” In ASL, you might sign this as “tree climb I want.” For the sentence “Give me the book,” you might sign, “Book, give-to-me” (...and while gesturing that phrase give-it-to-me, one moves the sign for “give” from the person who has the book to yourself, thereby not just conveying the concept but demonstrating the action “giving-it-to-me”). While American Sign Language may at first seem quite complex because its sentence structure simply does not correspond with spoken English, a set of simple sentence demonstrations via teachers/videos has been proven to convey such concepts quite well.
