Using ASL for speech development

As a mom of 3 and a teacher, with a minor in ASL I love using sign language to help with my children's language development. I have used it with all three of my children and it has been so fun to watch their vocabulary expand. They love being able to communicate sooner and on a deeper level. I recommend starting with simple phrases such as "more", "help", "please", "all done", "thank you", "outside", "play", "mom" and "dad". Teaching these phrases really cuts down on the frustration level for them and you! Once they are ready, I love teaching them animal signs. It is so fun to watch an 18 month old sign "dog", "cat", "pig", etc.  I also find it fulfilling to teach a new skill to myself! I hope you find joy in it like I did.  Don't know ASL? I love these flash cards from Amazon: ASL Flash Cards My babies have also loved baby signing time: Baby Signing Time #ad ...

Unfortunately if kids struggle with their multiplication facts, they will most likely struggle with several of the concepts taught in these grades. Almost all of them have several steps with at least one of those being quick multiplication recollection. When a student doesn't know their facts, they get stuck on figuring it out and then get distracted. They then lose their place and can't remember where they are in the steps for what they were actually doing. This is why multiplication facts are so so important!  Any way they can learn it works. Some students learn better skip counting with songs you can find online. Sometimes apps work best, other times online games.  These are some of the ways my students and kids have learned the best from Amazon:  Multiplication Splat Multiplication Flash Cards #ad As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying p...
