The American education system is focused on children achieving excellence in academics. The WonderGrove philosophy is to focus on critical areas of learning, like: Citizenship, Nutrition, Health, Safety, Fitness, and Home Skills that slip through the cracks. WonderGrove uses engaging animated characters to model appropriate behavior for children. Research shows that it works! You will love the outcome of sharing these lessons with your child. Now with Signing Savvy, the animated lessons are not only closed captioned, but the key concepts presented throughout the animations are reenforced with sign language videos - making them great for children (and adults) who want to pickup and practice sign language vocabulary. Here is what parents and teachers are saying about WonderGrove animated lessons with sign language: "After watching Stay Seated in a Restaurant, my son never tried to leave the table. This was a first! Thanks, WonderGrove!" "Thanks to WonderGrove, we now sing the 'Click It' song together each time we buckle up. It works great!"

Membership for WonderGrove Kids new learning animations with Sign Language. PROMO CODE: SAVVY Offer expires June 1, 2013 Fact: Sign Language is the 3rd most studied language in the U.S. Tip: Do NOT use the words hearing impaired, disability, or handicapped.  These terms are offensive to the deaf population and viewed as a very negative way of looking at deafness. Say “deaf or hard of hearing” instead. There is a difference in the way those that are deaf and hard of hearing communicate, but it is not a handicap or disability. Facebook Twitter Website
