Children are able to communicate by signing before they develop the skills necessary for speech. By teaching simple sign language to children from as young as eight months, we can help them to convey their emotions and their needs. When children begin to talk, having sign language to fall back on provides a comforting safety net. Add to the fun of signing by singing well-known nursery rhymes and songs. Even proficient speakers will long enjoy signing to a favourite song or rhyme. Simple and clear signing instructions allow anyone to join in.
Newborn-3 This book is a board book. It is the classic nursery rhyme. It has the signs for the song. I like this nursery rhyme. I like how this book shows the signs for the words. This is great for kids to learn. Children can sing the song and do the movements with it. Children can work on their rhyming which is great for phonemic awareness.
Thanks to my obsession with Sue Thomas F.B. Eye I have wanted to learn some basic signs...so I ordered this series. I really like the simple illustrations and clear written instructions of the sings. Good for me a beginner and good for babies!
