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. 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. 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.

                        Benefits for Your Child and You:
  • Communicate with your child even before she can form the words.
  • Ease a child's frustration by helping her communicate what she needs,
    speed language development, and enhance long-term learning abilities.
  • Know when your child is most ready to interact and learn.
  • Learn sign language teaching methods, such as making the sign on a
    child's body, on the floor, or hand over hand.
  • Recognize and respond to your child's version of signs.
