In March 2008, Signing Time learned about Elizabeth Barrett, a 17-month old infant that can read. In an interview done by KCBD News Channel 11 in Lubbock, Texas Katy Barrett, Elizabeth’s mother, said that she reads more words than they can count. Katy is convinced that sign language contributed to her daughter’s reading skills with help from watching “Signing Time” on public television. Elizabeth Barrett is featured as a peer model in Baby Signing Time Volume 3 & 4.
