Upgrade the ABCs with sign language!

Is your child learning to sing the ABCs? Did you know that know that using sign language while singing the ABCs will increase your child’s brain development? When we use both our hands and speech simultaneously to communicate language, we stimulate both sides of our brain. Whereas, when we use spoken language only, we only use the left side.

Next time you are singing the alphabet song with your child, have a go signing it as well. Children love it! They get so engaged.

Maybe your child can practice fingerspelling their own name?

Check out this link to my video where I demonstrate the ABCs in Auslan. And here's a link to my channel Teaching Young Children.

That is, it for today. Feel free to write any comments or questions you have about teaching young children in the comments below.

Happy signing!
