The American Sign Language teacher at River Ridge High School reviewed this book and found it to be inadequate. She says it very much needs to be accompanied by a DVD that has a person forming the symbols, which the ASL textbook used in high school classes does have.

The book contains units on using sign language with young children, using sign language to manage the classroom and teach social skills, sign language for babies, sign language for toddler, sign language for preschoolers, and sign language for an inclusive classroom. There is also an appendix with ASL picture books, resources, and stories for early childhood classrooms.
