Evidence based research shows that Sing and Speak 4 Kids stimulates language development in children ages 18 months to 7 years, but it can also be effective and fun for a broader age range.

Yes! Research shows that music stimulates the brain to reach language centers more effectively in children, regardless of developmental ability. Sing and Speak 4 Kids can turn fun into quality learning time for the whole family, including for English Language Learners.

The best answer to this is as often as possible. However, based on our evidence, we recommend at least 3 times a week for 10 minutes each session.

Our clinical trials showed progress with minimally verbal children 2-6 years old, while we screened out non-verbal children for that testing. However, anecdotally we’ve seen some successful outcomes with non-verbal children using sign language and other gestures, enhancing their social communication as they are physically able. Those non-verbal children who have any vocal abilities like humming or singing are more likely to begin to verbalize by using Sing and Speak 4 Kids, as we start them with music and singing then gradually advance them to speaking. Each child will have their own capacity for speech-language development, which we promote as best as possible, so it’s worth trying a few times a week for a month to see what might work.
