Too bad my camera is not working

Want a good laugh? Explain to a child the concept of non-manual markers. Specifically, You need to raise your eyebrows when you ask a yes - or - no question. You also need to lower your eyebrows when you ask a "Wh" question. Then ask the child to ask (sign) you a question and use the correct expression. Have the child perform this for friends and family! If you need help with some questions, try ASL University or one of the dictionary links. Let me know how it goes!

postcard

Here is a fingerspelling postcard you can print on heavy paper and mail. I'm not familiar with the last two signs, maybe someone can let me know where they originated and if they are widely used.

I HEAR U

Cute site put together to help you, or your kids learn the fingerspelling alphabet and numbers.Be sure and check out the digital clock (get it? digital? Yea, I know that was bad.)

Thanks Tom!

Three year old saves Mom useing Sign Language! Wonderful Story. Now does everyone know the sign for "Help"?

Hello again!

On the sidebar you will see an Amazon.com add for "The American Sign Language Handshape Dictionary" I really like this dictionary because it is a useful tool for learning ASL signs one hand shape at a time. Even better it solves the problem of seeing a sign you don't know, but having no way to look it up! Our ASL class at the library is looking into getting some, possibly through a fundraiser. If you are interested in donating a copy or funds towards a copy please let me know!
