Signing to anZel
Written by jlz on July 16, 2006 – 12:01 pm -Being the over-achieving parents that we are, we started signing to anZel a couple of weeks ago.
According to some of the researchers, infants generally have no long term memory until they are five to six months old. That’s why at around 6 months it’s best time to start signing with babies. However, we’ve seen cases where infants starting signing back at four months!!
Not that we really expect anZel to sign back at 3-4 months, but the lil guy loves watching hand gestures. When I do the airplane sign to him, he watches very closely and follows my hand as it moves.
We bought a couple books from Amazon to give us an idea what to do..
We have also been using using these two sites to teach us signs that the books don’t teach us:
The only thing is that for some reason, some of the same words have different signs from these two sites. I have no idea why…maybe some ASL expert can explain that to me..
