 New! Kindermusik Sign & Sing
Sign language curriculum for parents with hearing children
A different approach from other sign language programs. Through songs, toys, and loving playtime between you and your child,
Kindermusik Sign & Sing shows you more than 50 signs your
child can use to communicate with you. Using research-proven methods shown
to speed language development in hearing children, you'll see how sign
language can ease frustration and enhance long-term learning abilities for
your child.
Songs and fingerplays. Already accustomed to
fingerplays and rhyme-songs—such as "This Little Piggy"—you'll easily
substitute American Sign Language (ASL) signs in familiar songs, improving
your child's language skills, fine motor skills, and strengthen fingers
for zipping zippers and using scissors.
Learn when you play. You'll never have to memorize a
list of signs. This curriculum gives you the ASL signs that are most
useful to you, and most interesting to your child. So playtime and
everyday items around the house—ball, bubbles, mom and dad—become the
objects of learning in the classroom, and sign language becomes a natural,
happy part of your child's day.
Hearing children who know signs, learn language almost twice as
fast. As early as 11-14 months old, hearing children exposed to
sign language put little sentences together faster than non-signing
children, who do not begin to combine words into short sentences, such as
"Da-da car" until the average age of 20 months.
