It is a really great thing to teach your child the American Sign Language (ASL) alphabet. Babies and children tend to pick it up faster because of the visual letters that go along with the verbal letters. During the one minute preview you will see a 17-month-old baby singing and trying to sign the alphabet. Watch her hands as she tries to sign the letters. You will also see the same girl at age two, learning how to sign her letters. Her letters are much clearer now. She is also able to identify written letters because of her early exposure to both the sound and 'feel' of the letters. We take language in as a sound on the left side of our brains and we take sign language in as an image on the right side of our brains. This gives the child two places to recall the one word or letter. That is why it is so great to teach your child the ASL alphabet!
Learn how to sign the American Sign Language (ASL) manual alphabet. In this lesson we will go through step-by-step instruction on how to sign each letter of the manual alphabet. I will give you easy memory hints to remember the letters. We will go through the alphabet slowly, together, in order for you to have the maximum amount of practice signing each letter. You will learn the manual alphabet in a fast and easy way. I hope you enjoy the lesson!

I learned the alphabet a long time ago from a friend, but it was really hard for me to remember some letters because they didn't seem to correspond with how the letter looks. Laura gives great hints to help you remember each letter and ways to visualize it so it makes more sense. The practice you get in the lesson is great for learning it quickly and still remembering it later too.

I tried to learn the ASL alphabet with a book, but it was difficult to remember and to be sure I was doing it right, but Laura is a really good teacher... I love her technique it makes me remember, and I learn the entire alphabet in the first time I watched the video. I strongly recommend this video!
Easy to follow. Great lesson! 08/19/2007

This video is very informative and easy to follow. It is sometimes difficult to interpret a sign when read from a book so seeing how the signs are actually done is way easier. Laura's tips are really helpful whether learning for your own use or to teach a child. I will certainly be forwarding this on to friends who wish to teach their children to sign.
