The Signing Time series far exceeds that of the American Sign Language for Kids.
It does the signing at a better pace, and presents it in a way that is super fun for children to learn.

My kids and I absolutely love the Signing Time series. I highly recommend if you want to teach your kids another language. My kids are 7, 5, and 4 and love to show me what they've learned from Alex and Leah.
Movie Reviews
Entertaining and Educational

"As the mother of twins, one hearing and one deaf, I have had the opportunity to check out many programs for teaching ASL to small children. This is by far the best series out there. Most other products are so boring that parents must struggle to stay awake during the production, and there is no way a toddler would tolerate a viewing. My 2-year-old twins request Signing Time all of the time. At home they want the DVDs playing almost constantly. In the car my hearing daughter starts asking for the Signing Time CD before I even have her strapped into her carseat. My 2-year-old deaf daughter is using 5-sign sentences, which is almost unheard of for the deaf child of hearing parents. My extended family owns a total of 6 sets of Signing Time. Whenever my daughters' cousins have a birthday they ask for the latest Signing Time DVDs. Children of all ages love this product."

"We love signing times! Number nine and number one would probably be our least watched that said, we still watch it and my children know all of the signs."
Great way to learn to sign the animals

"My 13 month old has learned almost all the animal signs and can do them from watching this video. I took ASL in college but forgot A LOT and never learned some animal signs. It's a great refresher for me too! This was the first "Signing Time" video we bought. Our son has a few other baby sign videos that covered the basics "mama", "dada", "dog", "cup" etc. This was nice as most on the market cover the same 20-30 basic beginner baby signs. I like the format and songs. Keeps baby's attention and unlike some videos (i.e. the baby einstein style) where they sign "dog" and then show 4 different types of dog toys- it doesn't feel like one long commercial for the BRIO toy coorporation. We'd had a mother's helper that is a homeschooled teenager who is taking ASL at a community college. She likes it too- and it helped her review for her class."
All Aboard!

"Two Little Hands has done it again! Instant approval from my 20 month old, 3- & 5- year-old. We go to the zoo often so they were excited to learn the signs for more of their favorite animals. The animation is enjoyable. The songs, as with all Signing Time volumes, are fantastic. A must have in your collection!!"
