A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

My First Makaton Symbols and Signs (Book 2) is the second book in a unique series of beautifully illustrated children's books designed to be read for pleasure. The illustrations and text are accompanied by Makaton Symbols and Signs which encourage the development of essential communication and literacy skills. Parents and children, at any level, can understand and enjoy reading this book together. It includes instructional text and covers a range of Makaton Signs carefully chosen to help babies and young children express their needs and begin to interact with people around them. The following signs are included; boy, girl, flower, butterfly, bus, aeroplane, fish, rabbit, ice cream, cake, ball, doll, swim, run, jump, kick, ride a bicycle, friend, toilet, wash, brush hair, brush teeth, more, please, finished, thank you, hot, cold, little, big, my, your, sorry and want. The Makaton Symbols presented with written words are also a great way to build children's confidence whilst learning to read. Text is a very abstract concept for young children to grasp but by using iconic symbols together with words the process becomes much more intuitive. The benefit of using Makaton with babies and children of all abilities is widely recognised and its use is growing in popularity. Tipi Books are fun to read and a convenient introduction to Makaton. My First Makaton Symbols and Signs (Book 2) has been awarded the Makaton Quality Mark, an accreditation reserved for materials that have been approved by The Makaton Charity and which meet criteria set to a high standard of translation. A proportion of the sale price of this book goes to The Makaton Charity in support of their work.

Revue de presse

RCSLT Expert Reviewer rated My First Makaton Symbols and Signs Series 1 Collection 5 out of 5 stating: This delightful series of books introduces a range of typical early vocabulary. One word features on each page. There is an illustration on the top half of the page, with the Makaton Symbol (with text below) and Makaton Line Drawing side-by-side below. It is a simple but effective idea - prompting the adult to use Makaton and also reminding them of the sign if needed. The author s intention is that the books should be shared in a typical way with small children - for pleasure. The illustrations are appropriate for this kind of book and would be accessible to most children. There are helpful guidance notes regarding the use of the signs and symbols, the importance of speaking when signing and some useful extra signs at the back of the book..... I would recommend the books for families, nurseries and as a great addition to portage libraries or similar services. --Bulletin: The Official Magazine of the Royal College of Speech & Language Therapists, August 2011
