Emma and Egor Teaching Guide: A Supplemental Educational Curriculum: Helping ALL CHILDREN Learn Sign Language and Promoting Early Communication (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781647866204)

The Emma and Egor Learn Sign Language Series is a self-taught supplemental curriculum designed to integrate into and enhance your current lesson plans. We provide books, games and instructional tools for teachers and administrators ready to incorporate sign language into their existing curriculum. Research supports that sign language is an important developmental addition to early childhood learning and the Emma and Egor Learn Sign Language Series is there to support early language development and communication. Early Education programs nationwide are integrating sign language into their curriculum and all students are seeing the benefits; not just the Deaf/Hard of Hearing students or those children with limited communication skills. Studies continue to show that the early introduction of sign language shows significant benefits in behavior, brain and psychological development(1).(1) 1 https: //www.educationalplaycare.com/blog/sign-language-benefits-for-young-childrenAs a teachers, when you implement the Emma and Egor Signing Language Educational (Supplemental) Curriculum into your preschool program, developmental program or home school education, you have increased the children's learning potential. Children naturally use gesture-speech as they attempt to formulate their first words, for example they will mimic eating a cookie when they want a cookie. Supplementary gesture-speech continues to develop as they form two-word utterances. Those "gestures" are signals to the adult that a child is ready to begin multi-word speech. Yet we often ask our students to "sit on those busy hands" and communicate without this innate behavior. If you are interested in promoting early communication, enhancing gross and fine motor skills, improving early decision making, decreasing frustration while developing cognitive enhancement then Emma and Egor is the supplemental curriculum for you!
