How did you teach her how to read, how to spell and sound out the phonics of each letter? Do I have to teach my kid sign language to get a jump start on reading, spelling, etc? Do you think it can be taught with any normal kid? Look forward to hearing from you.

@LivieJolie7 I taught her how to read using the ASL alphabet. I started showing her the letters and when she knew them all out of order I started teaching her the sounds of the letters. I would first hold up the letter a and make the sound. When she got a then I'd move on to teaching b. Then I'd go back and forth from a and b then I would add c and so on. It takes a while but it's worth it. She loved playing spelling games using her hands.

i love this my daughter was diagnosed to be hearing inpared she has a grandma who is complete deaf so i started teaching her sign she is now 2 and can sigh a few words any tips on how i can get her to understand and sign more?

[SmartHandsCA]

@tjjb20 For your daughter I would just use sign language with her like you would use English if her grandmother is deaf. With her now at this age you should introduce signs for words/things she is interested in. If you are reading a book show her the signs in that book etc.

im sorry but why do u teache them if they knows how to talk

[SmartHandsCA]

@aenglot they can sign before they can talk so it helps to reduce their frustration until they learn how to talk.

This is a good thing to start teaching a child young sign language. My grand daughter is 6 months old and we are already teaching her sign. My daughter, her mother, has progressive hearing loss and is already completely deaf in one ear. We want my grand daughter to learn now so that it will just be a second nature to her.

Any baby can be taught to sign if you work at it.

These videos are so inspiring! My daughter (6m) used her first recognizable sign today (eat) and I can hardly contain myself!! I was going to sign up for the class but I feel like we might be doing a pretty good job at home :)

I could watch this all day. I taught both of my grandbabies ASL, and it helps keep the frustration down, when you can understand what they want before they can speak.

Both started using sign language around 10 months and it just escalated from there. It does not hinder their speaking ability.

You have done a fantastic job with your daughter.
