Kindermusik of The Woodlands (18 Months to 3 1/2 Years)

Kindermusik Sign & Sing uses 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 100 signs your child can use to communicate with you. Using research-proven methods shown to speed development in hearing children, you’ll see how sign language can ease frustration and enhance long-term learning abilities for your child.

Songs and fingerplays. Already accustomed to fingerplays and rhyme such as “This Little Piggy” ---you’ll easily substitute American Sign Language (ASL) in familiar songs, improving your child’s language skills, fine motor skills, and strengthen fingers for zipping zippers and using scissors.

Learn when 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 play.

Hearing children who know signs, learn language almost twice as fast. As early as 11-14 months old, hearing children exposed to sign language put 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.
