Rosie's Walk CD-ROM
Rosie's Walk is based on a book published by Macmillan. It is the first CD-ROM children's story made accessible to the deaf. In each page of the story text is signed in either American Sign Language (ASL) or Signed English, and there are 7 to 10 enrichment vocabulary words on each page. This CD-ROM is full of animations and sounds that entertain and educate. After the story is told, several entertaining games provide practice in connecting the words with the signs and pictures. Hearing children who want to learn sign language will love this CD-ROM, too!
