Last week, as we left SignShine class, Nathaniel, 14 months old fingered spelled some letters. His mom asked if there is an EXIT sign in the class, we couldn’t find it. Nathaniel kept finger spelling (with his approximation), his mom, Gillian, who took our class since Nathaniel was 6 months old insisted to look for the sign. We all stood there, looking for the sign. And here it was... outside of the classroom door, at the ceiling, a green dark sign: EXIT. We were so surprised and excited.
Gillian shared with us that Nathaniel loves fingering spell EXIT, since his dad signs with him E.X.I.T. in every opportunity they see the EXIT sign!
All I can say --- wow, what an ENTRANCE to the spelling world. Create an HABIT and choose to sign and spell one word you see all the time (like your child's name, or family name on the door).
Next blog, look for Nathaniel's short video signing EXIT!!
