Paws Signs Stories, award-winning computer software for children, contains 5 original stories and 15 educational games (3 for each story) with each signed in American Sign Language. Stories teach important features of ASL when signed. Paws is recommended for children, ages 3-7, although we have found that older elementary-age deaf children enjoy the program as well. Linda Bove, the deaf actress on Sesame Street, dressed as Paws the dog, signs the stories, directions, and game instructions. Signing and/or audio are options for accessing information
