Storytime with Officer Christensen, in ASL and English! It's Not Easy Being a Bunny, by Marilyn Sadler. Illustrated by Roger Bollen. Published by Random...

It's so important for deaf kids to have language and role models, so please help me in creating a virtual community for them so they know they're not alone during this isolated and unprecedented time! If you are reading this and are a native sign language user, guess what? I'm tagging YOU! Rediscover the joy of your favorite children's book and upload using the hashtag #OperationASLStorytime so that these kids and their families can find stories like these. D-PAN: Deaf Professional Arts Network will also be consolidating these stories. Thank you for paying it forward!

Shel Silverstein's classic book, "The Giving Tree" - in American Sign Language for #OperationASLStorytime

Happy Monday! It's a new week, so here's a new #OperationASLStorytime video. This one is my family's personal favorite. Its called "Mixed" by Arree Chung. I hope you enjoy it, and don't forget to sign a story of your own!

Rosen Pre-K Teacher Nate Elliott signs OLIVIA by Ian Falconer in ASL. When reading Olivia, we are entering a child's rich inner life. Olivia uses her bottomless imagination to define and change terms in her life through imaginative and dramatic play, which are tools in a child's socio-emotional chest! #deaf #asl #americansignlanguage #operationASLStorytime #operationstorytime #bilingualism #ASLECE #signlanguage #deaftalent #deafedathome #deafkids #reggioemilia #reggioemiliaapproach #RosenFamilyPreschool #HSDCseattle

This video is for older "young children" rather than toddlers. Be sure to have the book in hand to read before, during and after watching this video in ASL. My husband Darrell Utley and I enjoy reading stories in ASL for our Deaf children and wanted to share with the Deaf children of the world. Enjoy! Tips: 1. Make sure to have the same book with you and go over it before, during and after watching this video. 2. Do not worry if you dont understand the signs I make in this video, consider this an exposure for practice on your comprehending ASL. 3. Watch this often, with the actual book and try to have an conversation with your child. You will find more and more interactive experience each time. The child will recognize different things every time the child watches this or reads the book. 4. Be sure to stay alert to ASL videos created by native signers versus basic ASL students or hearing people. Some videos are made for their assignments so they are not going to be attractive to your kids or you might get wrong ideas. 5. Check out my other playlists-- I have added my favorite videos for Deaf kids. Be sure to subscribe to those channels including this channel and check back often for new videos. 6. This is in a playlist so to watch the other videos, be sure to click next video or find the playlist and click play all for hours of educational entertainment. 7. Some books may appear attractive to certain ages than others. 8. PLEASE SHARE the ASL joy with other signing families. It is easy for hearing children to get stories told by anybody in the movies, bookstores & libraries so let's give the Deaf kids equal access with rich resource of ASL stories by the Deaf community.
