Sign and Shine

'Sign 'n' Shine' is a novel way of teaching children how to read high frequency words. Each key word is taught with a sign from the Makaton sign language vocabulary. Non-readers and young readers make magnificent progress in reading through the use of 

'Sign 'n' Shine'. A vast vocabulary of key words is developed in record time!

Each school day begins with a whole school assembly during which children use Makaton sign language in songs.

Children often come up with the ideas for the songs themselves, learn the Makaton signs to match at home and teach the rest of the school!
