Even once children start speaking, signing still has advantages. Children who learn ASL also learn to read sooner. This is because they can see the link from the manual alphabet to written words helping them see the pattern of language. Children also love learning sign language because they are active while they learn. You can incorporate signs into songs you child like such as "the itsy bitsy spider", "Old MacDonald", "Twinkle, twinkle little star," etc. Using ASL in school programs incorporates many of the multiple intelligences. Children are active learners and ASL is one way to involve students in their education.
