Baby Sign Language - Alphabet Songs (American)  

In this baby sign language video lesson, you will see three different versions of alphabet songs. The preview gives you an example of what each video segment will teach you.

The first segment is designed for children to practice their American Sign Language Alphabet. They can see the different hand shapes and sign and sing along with the song. We made the song slow enough for the child to be able to change and absorb each hand shape.

The second segment is designed to teach the sounds the letters make. Once you learn the sounds of the letters you can then start to put together words. You can ask your child what does C (showing the letter c and having them sound it out), A, T spell - you can sound it out together as you go.

The third segment teaches you the signs in the first alphabet song. At the end of this song I will go over how to make each sign.

Each song has a chapter marker so you will easily be able to find the particular song you like.

I hope you enjoy singing along to these songs!
