Story telling ASL stories on stage, January 27, 2004
The voice over is well spoken and fun, and the ASL story tellers are
wonderfully entertaining (Lou Fant, Freda Norman, Pat Graybill, Mary Beth
Miller). The entire story is told by each of these storytellers on a stage
decorated with colorful ladders.
The reason my rating lacks a star is that the second Cinderella story makes
people who use cued speech seem awful. It promotes a prejudiced opinion that
people who know cued speech (can lipread with a little signed help) are stuck-up
and mean.
For those of you looking for videos to help you learn ASL or help your child
learn, the signing is faster than most "learn this" type videos, and the speech
doesn't match up closely with the signs (example: if you are looking at the sign
when they say the word "rabbit" you are not going to see that word, it will be a
different part of the story).
However, if you already know some sign and want to see the sentence
structure, this is perfect.
