Sign Language Utilizes Several Learning Styles
"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember,
involve me and I learn!" --Benjamin Franklin--
You may have heard people say, "I am a visual learner" or "I learn
better hands-on." This is one of the reasons that sign language is so
beneficial. By pairing signs with speech, we utilize all styles of
learning - auditory (we hear the word spoken), visual (we see the word
signed), and kinesthetic (we form the sign ourselves). When we use a
variety of learning styles or techniques in order to learn new concepts,
we have a greater capacity to retain that information. When we
"involve" our children -- they learn!!
