“Clifford Visits the Hospital” by Norman Bridwell, expressed in American Sign Language. Part One..
Could you please slow down a bit, you signal way too fast for me.
That has to be a Texas regional sign…I have wondered that myself and have asked many of my deaf friends about it. They have never seen it done here in Michigan, lol. 🙂
Cute! your videos help a lot.
Very nice! Many thanks for taking the time to make this.
it means GROSS or EEK!
I get so much out of your signing. In Clifford Part 1 when signing about grandmother, Clifford & the shot, you sign what appears to be a “f” classifier on the left shoulder. What does that concept represent?
I think its better that there are no subtitles, it forces you to actually see the signs and connect them to their meaning. I’m trying to learn ASL, and i’ve noticed that I pick up better without the subtitles to distract me.
I think it’s so sweet that you do that for chuldren and I know my friend, Sam (who is hard of hearing) would really think it’s great too.
By the way, you also look very pretty in this video ; )
Ally, I was very happy to see you are signing children’s stories. I have a childcare/ preschool and I teach my kids asl from early infancy. I am always looking for resourses.. I am glad I found you. Blessings to you
Oh yeah its how I feel when hearings dont put closed caption on their videos Im deaf myself ummm
Could you please put the text of the story into subtitles for those of us who don’t know any or much ASL but are desperate to learn or at least get more exposure (like me)?? hehe. Thanks a ton 🙂
HA HA …your so cute telling this story 🙂
well ASL does have a written form…kinda. but its really weird!!
ASL does not have a written form, and has a totally different grammer and syntax apart from English. You can teach deaf children how to read english, but ASL will be thier first language. Signing books into thier langauge helps them understand more fully the context of the book.
It’s like you learning to read/speak Spanish or Russian. You will understand it–but it will make more sense in your own primary language you learned from birth. Think of it that way =)
hhahaah! 🙂
whoooo!
Aww…. Cute
i know ur getting alot of responses with explinations about children learnign from birth. but i think this video might also be good practice for signing. you know.
just for kicks.
of course that in addition to all the other reasonable reasons suggested.
i have this book =P
nice to see u again ally
great book qlly was easyerrr to get the story and was very good nice to see you fooing other vblog hun nice top as well what dose it say??? hope we se more ofve your work grat to see you as allways dorm xx keep up the good work
Clifford books were some of my favorite as a child and I really enjoy the story in ASL. And since I have taken all the classes my University offers, watching your videos helps me keep up my receptive skills some until I can begin classes elsewhere.
Thanks 🙂
You have to understand that unless a deaf child has people around them that can communicate they can never LEARN to read. How can they learn to read if they have no basis of language. They are better off seeing the story signed in a language that they can understand. If you were deaf and had no hearing ability or reading skills because you didn’t learn a language how would you feel? you’d want someone to help you out by making story time accessible in a easy to understand language!
I love the Wildcat shirt!!!! Go U of A!
You are very talented
I wish there was some way you could add written american/english translated subtitles
im not sure if you’ve ever taken Deaf Culture classes, or Deaf Ed classes, but children need language immediately from birth. and for the parents that dont have the time, effort, or dont want to learn ASL (lets hope none of these) then they can show their children these videos to give them stories. hopefully that helped you understand a bit more.
well, maybe i can help explain:
im not signing these stories for older Deaf/HoH people. my purpose in signing these stories are:
1) for class!
2) FOR YOUNG DEAF/HOH BABIES.
90% of Deaf children are born into Hearing families — families that MOST OF THE TIME do not know ANY ASL. i have these videos accessible for those parents who want/NEED to give their children language.
