Signing Time! is an American television program targeted towards children aged one through eight that teaches American Sign Language. It is filmed in the United States and was created by sisters Emilie Brown and Rachel Coleman, the latter of whom hosts the series. Between 2006 and 2016[citation needed], it was syndicated by American Public Television to public television stations across the US.[3] Signing Time! is produced and distributed by Two Little Hands Productions,[4] which is located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Signing Time!'s multi-sensory approach encourages learning through three senses — visual, auditory and kinesthetic — and reaches children with diverse learning styles and abilities by encouraging interaction through signing, singing, speaking and dancing. The series teaches signs for common words, questions, phrases, movements, colors, sports, days of the week, everyday objects, and common activities.[5]
From 2009 to 2012, Signing Time! interstitial music videos aired on the Nick Jr. channel.[6][7] As of October 4, 2010, public television stations were allowed to show the series for the next two years.[8][needs update]
