Bilingual Stories Bookshelf App Tip Sheet

The free Bilingual Stories Bookshelf App shares children's stories three ways: WATCH shows the full story signed in American Sign Language, READ pairs the text with sign videos you can tap, and LEARN offers vocabulary practice with a video for each sign. Use this tip sheet to weave all three into everyday time together, watching first to get the big picture, then connecting signs to printed words, then practicing a few new signs across the day. It also shows how families who use spoken English can share each story in both languages, side by side.
