Signing Naturally

by Cheri Smith, Ken Mikos, Ella Mae Lentz

The *Student Videotext and Workbook - Level 1,* an excellent reference and resource book, has been expanded to include over 1,000 signs and 100 useful phrases, many accompanied by corresponding pictures to help you remember the meaning of the signs. Activities are video-interactive, allowing you to check your comprehension and to practice signs. The primary emphasis is on language in context, featuring useful vocabulary and expressions, with suggestions for additional pair work. Other video activities isolate specific grammar features for added practice. Short videotaped folklore stories, humorous and artistic, make the *Student Videotext* a personal and invaluable cultural reference for you. At the conclusion of each video scenario students are provided with opportunities to use the *Student Workbook* for spatialization practice, sequencing, conclusion drawing, summarizing, and answering short questions and fill-ins. An answer key is also provided for self-correction. Readings about culture and language are also included to enhance your understanding of ASL and the Deaf experience.
