Use these videos to:
- Help develop evening routines:
- Get your pajamas on, grab a snack, and pull up our weekly videos to start story time. Make up a song or rhythm to help your child know the steps to expect.
- Weekly postings (Check back for more soon!)
- Then, watch it together as a family and use the opportunity to:
- Ask your child questions.
- Prompt conversations/play throughout the week/weekend.
- Boost your American Sign Language receptive skills and learn new vocabulary (Once you’re comfortable, try muting the sound to take it to the next level!)
