This colourful little resource includes

• Includes examples of signs based on fingerspelling
• Sample short words to practice
• Large graphics and text
• Supported by the Let’s Sign series for learners
• Useful for learners of Auslan and Sign Supported English (SSE)

Designed to encourage the use of fingerspelling from an early age and demonstrates two views of each letter – as the viewer sees it from the front and as the signer sees it on their own hands.

Switching hands and trying to work out which hand is which is common with learners and
having both views is helpful in establishing good signing practice.

Fingerspelling is an important and integrated part of Auslan and represents each letter of the alphabet on the hands. It can be used to spell out whole words, abbreviated forms or initials.
It can be easily learned but needs a lot of practice to read back and to develop fluency in producing the rhythms and patterns.

For consistency in this resource, all the graphics depict the letters as formed by a right-handed signer. Left-handed signers will use the reverse mirror image of this.

This publication began as a free download of six posters for families and teachers looking for BSL materials for revision of signs learned in classes to mark the historic event of the Coronation of King Charles 3rd on 6th May 2023 .

Downloading and printing is not readily available to everyone and it became evident that there was a need for a printed version – and so the six posters have grown into an activity booklet that can also be kept as a souvenir of this landmark occasion. It contains a mixture of colouring pages, wordsearches and fingerspelling puzzles.

The sign vocabulary includes:
King, Charles, 3rd, Coronation, Parade, Westminster Abbey, Street, Party, Cake, Picnic, Family, Friends, Horse, Gold, Carriage, Buckingham Palace, Royal Family, British, Flag, Red, White, Blue.

These are again listed with written descriptions in a Glossary at the back of the book along with the Fingerspelling Alphabet and Handshape Key.

The colouring pages have a blank reverse to avoid bleed-through
and there are a number of word puzzles to entertain individual and family groups with varying degrees of difficulty.

Perfect for pencils, pens or paints with a blank reverse to each colouring page so that there is no bleed-through. Learn the signs as you colour – grown-ups can join in too!

The individual topics are also available in Flashcard format as low-cost Kindle ebooks for use on smart phones and tablets with appeal to learners of all ages and abilities – one sign per page, easy to carry and refer to on the go. The printed book versions provide a collection of their contents with some extras.

For British Sign Language (BSL) and Sign Supported English (SSE) users.

Ideal for young children who are deaf or have special educational needs (SEN) in addition to all sign language learners and baby signers.

What are the benefits?

Colouring can help children to develop fine motor skills and gives practice in using and controlling pencils correctly.

It can help children to develop concentration and focus in addition to the development of good hand to eye co-ordination and colour awareness.

Colouring is enjoyable and satisfying, with the completed pictures providing children with a real sense of pride and achievement in their work.

Includes: Basic Handshape Key and Fingerspelling Alphabet.
