@Gill_Blowers after just one month of using Sign4Phonics, the progress of the children is amazing! They know most of the letters of the alphabet and are starting to blend CVC words. Well done to all the dedicated and wonderful staff!

Sign of the week: 'Sad'
When a young child is overwhelmed with emotion, he often finds it difficult to communicate how he feels. A simple sign that he can use enables you to address the issue and comfort him. #earlyyears #vocabulary #wordgap graphic by @DeafBooks
