Coleman and Wolf combine years of experience facilitating literacy development as teachers, interpreters, counselors, and presenters at the local and regional levels to create an updated resource of signs collected from established base signs and initialized signs observed within the Deaf community throughout the US. The vocabulary is organized by topic: English, social studies, science, mathematics, health, non-academics, education, and general vocabulary such as emotions, actions, religion, quality, and condition. The second-edition text reflects idiomatic and conceptual changes within American Sign Language (ASL), including new concepts resulting from the enormous technological explosion--the era of cell phones, laptops, and the Internet--that has occurred since publication of the first edition. The authors have also updated and replaced some of the original illustrations for improved clarity, consistency, and conceptual accuracy.
