A visual reference for the basics of Signed English

Organized as a quick-reference dictionary, this guide brings together more than 1,000 black-and-white illustrations with subject-grouped vocabulary and grammar tips. Its emphasis is practical: helping users build a foundation in Signed English and locate signs by topic when needed. The book is designed for communication involving deaf or hearing-impaired people and can stand on its own or accompany the Living Language video Say It By Signing. As a 224-page paperback reference, it centers visual instruction, basic vocabulary, and grammatical guidance rather than a broader history or survey of sign languages.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People beginning to learn Signed English
  • Those seeking a visual sign-language reference organized by subject
  • People who want communication tools for interactions with deaf or hearing-impaired individuals
