Sign Language Animations: 11 Words About Everyday Items

It won't delay speach. Teaching Spanish or sign language to a young child will help DEVELOP the hemispheres of the brain. He/she is able to learn later in life more easily, like reading and MATH. Their brains develop until 5. You can find out more online. I have a daughter who is 5. I used to teach her both words at the same time AND sign language. She did not have any speech delay AT ALL. She talks a lot and is reading and writing. She will be attending elementary this year

I'm with allbery 11 -- forcing your readers to go to the "next page" after ONE SENTENCE (most likely so you can increase your page views for advertisers) is ridiculous and almost always ensures that I will not read your articles. Please CHANGE YOUR FORMAT. Or risk losing readers.

I am really frustrated! I am trying to print some of the articles and I REALLY wish that when I bring up the version for a printer that it would give me the whole article_ not 1 of 12, 2 of 12, etc! Why on earth do I have to go through and print each one! I don't have enough ink OR TIME to print each and every one!!!

I found sign useful with my children. I spoke in full sentences, but emphasized the spoken word when pairing it with the sign (e.g. Do you want more? / signing the word more). This allowed my children to communicate before they were developmentally ready to speak. Additionally, as they did begin to develop verbal language they used the signs less and less and eventually disappeared all together. This technique actually fostered language development and eased frustration.

please, read everything and dont focus on just one part of someones comment...and try not to be so defensive, either, cause theres different strokes for different folks. even if s/he WAS saying it was all bad, perhaps s/he believes studies are twisted to support whatever the person asking for the study wants...a lot of times, they are.
