I look forward to practicing this with my 17 month old grandson. He's late with speaking but has picked this up rapidly.

For some reason I've become dyslexic in my old age with the alphabet signing (Same thing occurs in my aerobics classes)so I have a mirror in place to avoid the initial frustration until the reflex takes over.

Thank you so much

You're the best, Laura. And it meets such a need. I'm a grandmother to two daughter-in-laws who are signing some with their youngsters. I work on it here with them. It is such fun--and so helpful for the children--and the moms and others--to communicate.

Thank you! Ann

So cool!

What a great idea! Laura, thank you for doing all the work so we don't have to. This is the perfect tool also to use because my 9 month old will soon be meeting my mother for the first time, and it'd be great for him to recognize her face when he meets her.

Love the Lesson

• Baby Sign Language - ASL Alphabet

  It is a really great thing to teach your baby the American Sign Language (ASL) alphabet. Babies and children tend to pick up sign language 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 baby sign language using 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!
