A few of the benefits of signing with children:
- Early communication. Children are capable of communicating with signs between 6 and 14 months of age . . . much earlier than they can communicate clearly verbally. How exciting to have a 14 month old who can clearly communicate that he wants a banana!
- Reduced tantrums. Children who are able to communicate their needs and desires tend to have much less frustration and fewer tantrums.
- Great preparation for learning. Children who are taught sign language learn very early to link symbols with concepts. Research suggests that children who sign are better readers, spellers, and may even have higher IQ scores. (See research by Marilyn Daniels, Linda Acredolo, Susan Goodwyn, and Kimberlee Whaley.)
