WHAT HAPPENS IN A SIGN AND SING CLASS?

A Kindermusik Sign and Sing class is a very busy place. Children and parents engage in pretend play using props to set the stage for learning. Children sing songs and engage in imaginative play about events in their daily routines. American Sign Language (ASL) sign are used. Studies indicate that hearning children who learn sign language develop stronger language skills than non signers. Additionally, small motor skills in the hands and fingers develop more rapidly which helps the child learn to hold a pencil or scissors. But the most important advantage that Sign and Sing children receive from their class is quality time with parent / caregiver.

SIGN AND SING PHILOSOPHY

Signing Smart research indicates that parents benefit most from learning how to integrate signs into everyday life with their young children. So, rather than memorize a list of signs, parents learn signs in each class as they practice the songs and activities that introduce the signs.

Sign and Sing curriculum will help parents learn ASL signs that are useful and interesting for communicating with hearing infants and young children. Not only do parents learn how to form signs, but they also learn how to integrate signs naturally into everyday interactions with their children. Following this curriculum fosters meaningful two-way communication between parents and children.
