Studies have shown that signing with children and infants results in:
• increased IQs
• earlier speech
• faster language comprehension and fluency
• increased development of the brain over just learning a spoken language. Signing uses both left and right hemispheres, as it utilizes the hands and eyes IN ADDITION TO the ears and mouth.
• improved reading skills
• improved math skills
• improved motor skills
• uses a natural tendency (mimicing)
• increases pre-verbal communication
• eases frustration, decreasing tantrums and fighting (especially in childcare situations)
• allows adults to enter into their world. You'll be surprised by how much they notice and understand!
• Clarifies unclear words once speaking begins
