  Signs and symbols are all around us in the modern world, from traffic lights and bar codes to soccer matches and computer languages. These books look at the many forms of non-verbal communication that we encounter every day. They are specially designed to meet the needs of cross-curricular project work within the framework of the National Curriculum and will be a useful resource for children's topic work on communications. This book focuses on the different ways in which signs are used to pass on information. The text looks at the kind of signs and symbols which children encounter every day, from road signs and flags to company logos and pie charts. The author also explains some of the more complicated systems of communicating by signs, such as the sign language used widely amongst the deaf community. Throughout, there are suggestions for activities which involve the readers in making and using signs for themselves.
