Starting the Sign for “More”

• The sign for “more” is tapping your finger tips together in a group

• This sign can be used in many activities at home including:

• Play Time (more blocks, more bubbles)
• Meal Time (more bite, more drink)
• Any interaction with your child that would include requesting

• At first, your child may not spontaneously use this sign. Instead, put your hands over theirs and “help” them make the sign.

• Keep your language very simple.  Don’t use 10 words when 3 will do.

• Always use the spoken word along with the sign.

• Always reward your child for using the sign (verbal praise, another bite, etc)

• Be consistent with when you use the sign.  If you use it with meal time, ALWAYS use it with meal time.

• Make it FUN!!
