Updated with the latest research, Simple Signing with Young Children: A Guide for Infant, Toddler, and Preschool Teachers, Revised, is the perfect introduction to teaching young children to communicate through signing.
Because their oral motor skills and vocabularies haven't yet caught up with their thoughts and emotions, babies, toddlers, and preschoolers often struggle to communicate. Sign language can give children the tools to help them express themselves effectively-- with fewer emotional outbursts caused by frustration!
With easy-to-follow instructions and photos, Simple Signing with Young Children, Revised, will help teachers and caregivers use sign language to:
- enhance classroom management and ease transitions,
- support positive social behavior,
- teach language and literacy,
- help children learn impulse control,
- assist children in expressing emotions and needs, and
- create peaceful learning communities
