Transform your teaching:
Signing songs provides powerful multisensory and accelerated language learning for all children!
 |
|
Appropriate for PreK-1 Teachers, Bilingual, ELL, Special Education, Literacy Coaches, and Music Teachers. |
Fingerspelling builds kinesthetic memory connections for letters and sounds and develops the small muscles necessary for writing. Signing songs builds comprehension by creating internal images of language; it also allows
children to develop oral language and reading fluency simultaneously. Parents love it… children love it… and teachers love it!
Discover why teachers tell us, “Signing songs is just the best thing we do!” and “This seminar was worth traveling across the country for!”
In just two days, you will learn how to:
-
Sign twenty memorable songs including “What a Wonderful World,” “ABC Phonics: Sing, Sign, and Read!,” “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,” “You Are My Sunshine,” “The Pledge of
Allegiance” and more…
-
Accelerate ABC recognition and phonics skills
-
Give children “Just Right: I Can Read Books” for reading independence
-
Teach high-frequency “heart” words for fluency
-
Create memorable children’s performances that parents love
-
Use Sign Language for class management and to keep children engaged and focused
-
