What to do on a rainy day? Why not learn some signs? How about the signs for colours?
Jack, Caitlin and Mummy set out to find the most colourful things in their house and garden, learning the sign for each colour as they go along. Mummy is also collecting bottles of paint, one of each colour as they get ready to create the most wonderful picture. What could possibly go wrong?
Jack Signs Colours! is a beautiful addition to the Jack Signs! series of books, each designed to support the learning of sign language through fun and relatable stories for young children. The books provide "mirrors and windows" into the life of Jack, a little boy who is deaf and wears hearing aids, his typically-hearing sister Caitlin and their ever-resourceful mother.
Jack Signs Colours! integrates "sign along with me" icons, which prompt children (plus their parents and teachers) to sign along with Jack as they read the story. If they come across new vocabulary, they can hop online to learn the sign from the video resources available on the AVID Language website, and to watch the whole story signed in both BSL (British Sign Language) and ASL (American Sign Language).
Written by Karen Hardwicke, who has been a Teacher of the Deaf for over ten years, the Jack Signs! books are based on a true story and are an ode to sign language. The series is illustrated by Amanda Walker whose beautiful artworks bring each story to life with sensitivity and humour.
