WHAT IS BABY SIGNING?As a part of typical development before speech is well established, babies naturally use a combination of gestures and sounds to help their parents understand them. For example they may point, shake their heads, clap their hands and wave "bye-bye". Now is a great time to introduce some extra gestures to help your baby communicate. It's easy to do and your baby will really enjoy it! Baby signing is wonderfully rewarding and fantastic fun. You will be amazed by what your baby is capable of telling you before being able to talk!HOW DOES SING AND SIGN TEACH THESE BABY SIGNS?Sing and Sign's original and unique approach has revolutionised baby signing in the UK. Everyone knows nursery rhymes and action songs are great fun and musical activities help stimulate language development. Sing and Sign combines the benefits of both music and baby signing. We teach a wide range of signs using some traditional and some specially written or adapted songs. What makes Sing and Sign special is that every sign used in song relates to those important first words of a baby's world! Nappies and bath time, hiding games and bedtime. You name it, we have a song about it, and the babies just love to hear them! With a high standard of educational content, this is a relaxing, enjoyable and unpressured way for you and your baby to learn.WHICH SIGNS DO WE USE?Our signs are widely used by Speech and Language professionals, nurseries and schools across the UK. Sing and Sign is largely compatible with Signalong, Makaton and other sign supporting systems designed to be used WITH speech and based on the signs of British Sign Language (BSL).
