REVIEW by LIMPING CHICKEN– “The World’s Most Popular Deaf Blog”
Review by Rebecca-Anne Withey.
“I’ve been enjoying a book from the Let’s Sign BSL series by Cath Smith.BSL Baby Sign Link book is a first for DeafBooks due to how the illustrations also feature QR codes to scan and link to video clips of moving images – so you can see the signs in action! The video links are by Remark! and demonstrated by a Deaf BSL user.
The illustrations in the book are beautifully clear, with easy to follow instructions yet I was anxious how the video clips would work, being the technophobe I am!
I needn’t have worried. All you need is an internet connection, a smart phone and to download a free scanner straight onto your phone.
Not only does the book feature a wide range of every day signs from food and drink to praises such as well done and good boy/girl, it also has a clear chart of the finger spelling alphabet as well as descriptions of basic hand shapes (which I wasn’t previously aware of!)
The series of signs are divided into chapters such as Going Out, Making Things Better and In the Bathroom.”…………..
……….“I was pleased to see that DeafBooks has a much wider range of resources available, from flash cards and BSL songbooks to curriculum support and eBooks for family signs.
I will also be recommending their BSL series to friends of mine who have expressed interest in their hearing children learning BSL as at the moment in my area there are no BSL classes available for children.
Congratulations to DeafBooks and to Remark! for producing such a valuable resource. ”
Note from DeafBooks – the QR codes can also be scanned from the camera on smart phones and ipads.

This is a great little book for learning some BSL signs to use with babies and young children. The pictures and instructions are clear, with the added feature of video links to show you how to do each sign. The vocabulary is appropriate for young children as it is all based on daily routines.

Wow, a great book with fab visual images of each sign but with the added extra of being able to watch each sign in a video by REMARK. A great starting point for anyone wanting/needing to use Signs with their Babies and Toddlers.
by Olivia Retter
This book had been excellent prepared and published. The author teaches ‘hand shapes’ which is a basic knowledge that is needed to be able to develop the reader to learn how to sign in a clear and succinct manner.
I would highly recommend this book.

Very useful book with QR link to You Tube links after being taught by a BSL Tutor if possible.

This is a fabulous book like all of Cath Smiths resources . Perfect for anyone with a baby wanting to introduce a language to them early on. Highly recommend for families with hearing or deaf Children. The QR link to be able to see the signs in action is a wonderful addition to the graphics .
