Reading by Age 5

See It, Sign It, Read It, Spell It! Fast results and great fun to teach for teachers and parents! The book and DVD contains a balanced blend of American Sign Language and Tucker Signing Strategies with easy-to-follow guidelines to help caregivers teach children as young as 9 months to sign words and concepts, the building blocks of reading. As children grow and learn, the transition into signing sounds and blending those sounds together to make words becomes easier. It s a well known fact: The area of the brain responsible for language development shares nerve endings with the part of the brain responsible for motor coordination. No wonder young children love to use their hands to communicate! And that s what makes Reading by Age 5 so revolutionary This proven, research-based program helps children: develop language acquisition, phonemic awareness, and decoding skills, prepare a foundation for reading-comprehension skills, outperform fellow students on a variety of reading and pre-reading measurements, communicates their needs with less stress, bond with caregivers through eye contact and positive interactions, absorb knowledge more readily in other subject areas as well.
