World's First Children's Storybook App With Sign Language

World's First Children's Storybook App With Sign Language | iGeneration - 21st Century Education | Scoop.it
ITV announced the launch of the world's first animated storybook app with British and American Sign Language. The Signed Stories app is designed to make reading fun for all children.
Alaina Knox's curator insight, May 2, 3:07 AM

Perfect for children so that they can read too and watch the stories being told. It gives life to the story and causes the children to feel important and that someone cares enough to tell a story to them in their language.

AP's comment, May 5, 9:57 PM
I think that this app is amazing for children whom are deaf or hard of hearing. Along with this, I agree with you on the fact that it brings the story to life as well.
