Sign&Sing Courtesy Information

A sign language curriculum for parents with hearing children
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.

Study conducted by Dr. Michelle Anthony and Dr. Reyna Lindert, Signing Smart program founders.

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 per session that 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.

Focus of sessions
Session A: daily routines, play and rituals.
Session B: review of signs learned in Session A, plus animal signs, and reading books using sign language.

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 not only your child's language skills, but also her fine motor skills – for zipping zippers and using scissors.

Learn as 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.

Enjoy the journey all week long
Sign&Sing is much more than a weekly class. You will receive one set of At Home Materials for each of the two sessions we will cover over the 10-weeks. These materials enable you to extend the learning into your home. Family involvement in your child's learning is a fundamental cornerstone of the Kindermusik philosophy because we believe the parent is the child's most important teacher and the home is the most important place for a child's learning to take root and grow.

What do parents have to say about
Kindermusik Sign&Sing™?
“Julian is less frustrated when trying to communicate his needs since attending Sign&Sing. He’s learned something new and innovative that he can use for a long time. It is so much fun for both of us and very educational at the same time!  I enjoy all the classes Kindermusik has to offer and I feel that they have made a HUGE difference in Julian’s behavior and development!”
~Rina, mother of Julian (16 months)
