I’ve been partnering with the City and County of San Diego to offer my Sign-a-Story Circle Time since 2006! Using ASL signs with little ones has been shown to foster literacy, and reduce frustration. Studies also show that bilingual babies who are signed to learn both languages better and faster, because signs can act as a “language bridge”, showing baby multiple ways to communicate the same concept!
Participants in my program learn ASL signs along with books, music, and fun visuals. While storytime doesn’t include the comprehensive lessons & group activities included in the full version of my class, it’s a super fun way to get your feet wet or continue adding vocabulary once you’ve got your little one established with signing!
Pre-pandemic performance— adults curently wear masks & social distance.
