EDU 725 - Sign Language II & Literacy K-6 (3)

This course equips participants to use sign language in their classrooms to teach vocabulary, spelling, and reading. A child’s vocabulary development can be enhanced by simultaneously presenting words visually, kinesthetically, and verbally. Research has found a correlation between exposure to sign language and improved reading scores. Teachers will learn strategies to increase students’ achievement levels through the use of sign language and how to implement these signing strategies into reading, language, and vocabulary development. Students taking this course need to bring their class list of sight words or spelling words to class at the first meeting.
