Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star is one of the most well-known and well-loved songs in the English-speaking world.  It is enhanced by the use of American Sign Language.  After children have practiced singing and signing the rhyme, they will delight in reading the language from language charts, Little Books or I Can Read anthology pages.  Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star makes a lovely performance song for children to share with their families. This beautiful melody was composed by Mozart in 1778. I wonder if there will be any stars out tonight?
