Sign & Sing Week 3

Over the past two weeks we have used strategies to make opportunities for signing with your child more effective.

This week, we introduced an Adaptation Strategy. This occurs when you move a toy next to your face so your child can see you making the sign while you hold the toy. Watch your baby’s eyes as she looks back and forth from the object to you. You have created the ideal environment for learning.

Page 10 in your Family Activity Guide gives you more ideas on how to use adaptation strategies even in the quiet times of the day, such as reading a book together. Your child is naturally captivated and relaxed while sitting in your arms, sharing a story—it’s a perfect time to use the signs you have learned from class!

P.S. Only two more classes to go! Keep the learning going all year long! In the coming weeks I’ll let you know more about Kindermusik summer camps starting in May.
