Rhyming Signing

A new book called Rhyming Signing offers an innovative approach to teaching sign language. Author Brad Wyant believes it will help students learn quicker. Instead of grouping signs together under subject categories (like food words, or furniture items), the illustrated book groups similar hand signs together, even though they may be used to form words with completely different English meanings. The Gallaudet University graduate lives in South Dakota. Born deaf, his first book was titled You Can Sign - A Path to the Deaf Way.
