What makes Signing Time! Series One so popular:
- Communicate with your child before they can talk
- Can increase your child's reading and language abilities
- Scientific studies suggest that "typical" children who learn to sign: have higher IQ scores, are better adjusted, and read at an earlier age
- Many parents observe that by learning to communicate earlier, the "terrible twos" are not so terrible- children can use a sign instead of throwing a tantrum to express their needs
- Will help you and your child learn basic American Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary words
- Makes learning sign language easy, entertaining and fun for children of all ages
- Format of Signing Time includes an adult (Rachel Coleman, co-creator) to model each sign, supported by footage of Alex and Leah (real kids, cousins in real life, Leah is deaf and Alex can hear, and Leah is Rachel's daughter), as well as footage of children and families demonstrating each sign in the proper context
- Two to four thematic songs are sprinkled throughout each volume

Series One is the original 13 Volumes of Signing Time (the series that started it all!) which were released from 2002-2006. Series One contains thirteen American Sign Language vocabulary-building volumes. Each volume teaches approximately 30 signs (with the exception of Volume 1, My First Signs, teaching 18) and exposes viewers to countless other signs through song.
Each volume begins with the Signing Time Theme Song. Rachel Coleman is the adult who then introduces and models each sign correctly and provides a description to assist with remembering the sign. Alex and Leah also introduce the sign being taught through short vignettes in their animated world. Then, you'll see several subsequent clips of real families and children signing the vocabulary word being taught, along with other footage of the object (ie. Horses on a farm for the sign "Horse"). This is the general pattern that is repeated for each sign throughout the show.
There are also original songs (written by co-creator Rachel Coleman) that integrate the signs learned in each segment. For example, in Volume 6: My Favorite Things, the general topics are Colors, Fruits and Vegetables, and Activities like walking, dancing, singing, etc. In the color segment, viewers will learn all the colors in the pattern described above, and then Rachel brings it all together in the "Colors of the Rainbow" song. The section on fruits and vegetables culminates in a song called "5 A Day", and so forth.
