AUSLAN FINGERSPELLING FOR TOTS: Little Beginner’s Handbook: Australian Sign Language (LET’S SIGN)
Fingerspelling is a valuable life skill that many adults can still remember from learning in their childhood decades earlier.
Each letter of the alphabet is represented on the hands, providing a direct link to English and literacy that is not only vital for deaf children and youngsters with additional communication and language needs, but can potentially benefit all youngsters from infancy onwards.This colourful little resource includes
- Outline of the role of fingerspelling in Australian Sign Language
- Clearly illustrated handshapes and positions with two separate views
- One letter per page with ‘reader view from front’ and ‘signers own hands’
- 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.

How to Sign with Babies with Terry the Monkey: British Sign Language for children
Learn how to sign with your baby with the latest title in the popular Terry the Monkey series of sign language books for children. Signs in this book include everything your baby will need in order to communicate their needs and share their observations of the world around them. As Joe Jacobs explains, ‘Most babies say their first words at around 12 months’ old, but babies are able to sign from as young as 7 months’ old. The muscles required for speech, in the throat and larynx, take longer to develop than the hand and arm muscles needed to sign. My own children began signing at around 8 months’ old. Signing can significantly reduce frustration and gives you an insight into your baby’s thoughts months before they can speak.’This book contains all the signs you will need to teach your baby how to communicate their needs and observations, including milk, mummy, daddy, more, hug, I love you, park, swings, toys, funny, play, brother, sister, wash hands, please, sleep, bed, bath, coat, hat and many more. The Terry the Monkey books have featured in Little London magazine and Familes, the magazine of the National Deaf Children’s Society, as well as limpingchicken.com, the world’s most popular deaf blog. Joe’s work has been praised by former children’s laureate Julia Donaldson, BBC’s Steve Backshall and Oscar winner and deafness awareness campaigner Rachel Shenton. This book contains tips on signing and a list of the benefits of signing with babies. A great gift for any new parent.Read more
