1. SignMeUp is easy to use.
Elise was frustrated with the multiple parenting sign language books she ordered. They were either so full of signs that she had trouble finding the one she wanted or included signs that weren't helpful. In SignMeUp's first book, it consists of basic signs that are the most helpful to aid in communication and ease frustration. The signs are easy to find.
2. SignMeUp is great for non-signers.
The pictures are clear and not ambiguous like many of the signing books I have seen. It gives clear instructions on how to produce the sign, great tips for remembering the sign, and suggestions on how to repeatedly use the sign with children and students all throughout the day.
3. SignMeUp is a great resource.
The book is something that classrooms can have on their library shelves and parents and caregivers can take home. In addition, the posters can be hung throughout the classroom or a room at home to remind children, parents, and teachers to sign often and repetitively.
4. SignMeUp is aesthetically pleasing and durable.
A lot of love and care went into the making of this book. It's durable and was built to withstand multiple usage. The colors, pictures, and font are pleasing and something that parents and teachers will want to display in their classrooms or homes.
5. SignMeUp is diverse.
One of the things that Elise cares about is making sure to include diverse characters in her books because she has biracial children of her own and knows that representation matters. SignMeUp has children of all colors and abilities which is something that students need to see.
6. SignMeUp gives back.
Every purchase is fueling the HELPING HANDS initiative, providing communication tools to children in need around the world. SignMeUp is committed to donating a minimum of 10% (but usually it's more like 30%). Thanks to your purchase, we're helping adoption agencies, foster children, children's hospitals, educational programs, and the Deaf community.
