Why sing and sign?
Music also enhances language development, spatial reasoning skills, socialization and motivation to communicate. Signing is rhythmic, as is music, and the combination provides a natural means by which to practice and interact. And it is really fun! One note though, I suggest that you not only sing and sign with your child, but also be sure to use the signs regularly in your daily routines; using the “props” of everyday life will help them make the connection between the sign and the concept your communicating.
