Signing with babies has started to become popular. Most parents
sign with their children to avoid the terrible twos. It is true
that parents who sign with their hearing children have children
that talk sooner and are less frustrated than non-signing children.
But the benefits of signing don't stop when the child begins to
talk. For most parents, when the child begins to talk, the parents
stop signing. What parents do not realize is that signing with
children uses the same part of the brain that children later will
use when learning to read. It should come as no surprise that
signing which is visual would use the same part of the brain as
reading which is also a visual mode of learning. Research is
showing that parents who continue to sign with their children have
children that are more interested in books and learn to read
sooner. It is very important when signing to children while reading
that parents sign the same way good children read. In other words,
parents should not be signing every word in the book. How do good
readers process words on a page? Why does sign language help
children learn to read? How should I incorporate sign into every
day activities to help my child become a better reader? To find the
answers to these questions, read the book Hands on Literacy by
Trish Peterson, MS Ed. Every day activities to promote reading
readiness are listed by age group along with milestones you should
expect your child to master during that stage. Trish Peterson has a
BS in Teaching the Deaf from Penn State and a MS in Curriculum and
Instruction with an emphasis in Learning Styles from Salem-Teiko.
She has been working with young children in early intervention for
five years. Prior tothat she taught sign to hearing children in
high schools for four years and was a teacher of the deaf in
residential, self-contained and mainstreamed settings for 12 years.
In addition to providing early intervention services, she currently
works as a speech therapist for TST BOCES in Ithaca, NY.
