...at three months old, he is already fascinated with the videos, analyzing all of the possible movements, and we love the ASL rhythms!
A parent
As a hearing parent my ASL skills aren't strong enough to come up with these kind of rhymes myself. It's helping my son's language development and I like the repetition and practice. It's so very clearly signed and my son loves it.
A parent
I've been using it with a young elementary child (with delayed language) and it's been amazing to see this student come out of their shell and copy what is being said! Great for so many skills!
A teacher
This builds language and phonemic awareness in ASL. This is a critical piece of language development that many Deaf/Hard of Hearing children miss.
A teacher
It can be difficult or time-consuming to try and find a way to incorporate ASL rhythm and rhyme into a classroom and finally a resource that is fun for kids! This is parallel to nursery rhymes and silly songs in English which help language acquisition and encourage children to play with language.
