ASL - American Sign Language Apps for Kids　

こども向けの米国手話、アメリカ手話アプリ

One of the great things about Signing Time using ASL vocabulary is that it can be used in conjunction with other ASL based items. I've been collecting app recommendations from other Signing Time Academy teachers and signing families.    My 5 year old even volunteered to test them and share his honest (sometimes brutally!) opinion.
サイニングタイムの一つの素晴らしいところは、教えてくれた言葉は全部ASLアメリカ手話です。ASLはサイニングタイムで学んだら他のアプリ、ビデオなどで使えます。

These apps all use ASL so if you've been doing ASL-based Baby Sign Language they can help you to build a larger vocabulary, increasing your ability to communicate with you child.

ASLをベースにしてるベビーサイン/ベビー・サイン・ランゲージを学んだ方にもこの下のアプリはオススメです！

 We don't use the iPad/iPod every day but it is nice to have some interesting & educational things on there for when waiting at the doctor's, etc.!

The clear favorite in our house is the Signing Time ASL - Sign Language app. It includes flashcards, a basic dictionary and (the kids favorite!) video clips.  They spent a half hour this morning trying to sign along to Leah's Farm.  Another great feature is that it is playable on our really old iPhone as well as the newer iPad.

Signed Stories - This is like the Reading Rainbow of signed stories. I'm not a fan of "in-app purchases" but little by little we're buying up the books in this app.
