Apparently, the little one was having fun as he could keep up with every sign that his adorable teacher was doing. He also tries to pronounce every word his brother would utter.

Aside from the colors, they also talked about the animals they could see on every page such as dog and frog.

According to Healthline, it possibly can make it easier to understand and use spoken words especially those kids from 1 to 2 years old. Aside from that, it can feasibly lessen the crying in infants. Using sign language may also lead to better bonding for the parents and their children. Lastly, there’s a potential that the IQ of the kid who uses it would increase.

This is probably one of the reasons why these two brothers could easily learn the pronunciation and signs of words.
