    Thank you for watching this video. If you would like to see another song signed in Makaton, please leave your request in the comments.
    This video is aimed towards children and people with learning or hearing difficulties, but can be enjoyed by all :)
    Makaton is a unique language programme which consists of signs and symbols, ideal for those with learning difficulties. The visual aid helps people to communicate and express needs.
    Please visit the Makaton Charity Website: www.makaton.org for more information.
    (The signs are very similar to British Sign Language)
    Although I've been using Makaton signs for the past since 2004, I only did my first formal Makaton course in 2014. And though I have been studying signing books since then, I am still only a beginner! The reason I began signing is because I have several fostered and adopted sisters who use Makaton to communicate and I originally began making my videos to encourage them as they learn new signs easier when it is fun. My sisters and I all love music! Since then, it has grown because my sisters wanted to share the videos with their school friends. I hope you continue to enjoy my videos as much as I enjoy making them.

    I'll be honest, I've actually used this sign language video in one of my projects in primary, my classmates and my teachers were so amazed that they ended up making me do it for assembly. It actually took my mom and everyone else by surprise. I was even surprised that they kept the photo for graduation and end of term celebration that I cried. God i miss primary now.😥😥😥

    Brilliant! I especially like that you do sing (or at least mime - I don't know!) along with signs, as this reinforces to my children who use makaton that they should be trying to talk at the same time as signing.

    This is brilliant! My son is three years old and has speech delay. Makaton has been recommended for him to learn to help him express himself better when he can't get the words out. He is obsessed with The Greatest Showman Soundtrack. His favourite is The Greatest Show. Have you made any other videos for songs from the soundtrack? if not is there a chance that you will be?

    • @Melodysigns
      @Melodysigns  6 років тому +1

      Of course I can, is there any song in particular you want me to sign?

    • @therealviewroom7772
      @therealviewroom7772 6 років тому +1

      That's amazing. His favourite is The Greatest Show and A Million Dreams. He and i have already picked up on how to do the chorus on this is me thanks to your video. Would you mind if i recommend your videos to people on my reviews page?

    • @Melodysigns
      @Melodysigns  6 років тому +1

      Of course, I'll add those songs to my 'to sign' list, and feel free to share the video with anyone. I'm glad you're enjoying This Is Me :)
