1 HOME SCHOOL ASL 101 Lesson 1- Fingerspelling

2 American Sign Language- ASL It is what most of the North American Deaf use to communicate.

3 The Deaf use their hands, face, and body expressions to talk. Why do they use face and body expressions?

4 You can hear the tones in your voice to know how you are feeling.

5 You can hear the tones in your voice to know how you are feeling. The deaf can not hear, so we use our facial expression and body language to know how you are feeling.

6 The deaf can not hear, so we use our facial expression and body language to know how you are feeling. That is ASL.

7 ASL is NOT English. It is not in English order, verbs, or making any sense with the signing.

8 Leave your English at the door. You can get it back when the class is finished.

9 ASL will be less confusing if you do not think in English.

10 Fingerspelling LESSON 1

11 Fingerspelling, what is it for?

12 Fingerspelling, what is it for? Words with no signs, IE:

13 Fingerspelling, what is it for? Words with no signs, IE: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

14 Fingerspelling, what is it for? Words with no signs, IE: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious You don t know the sign

15 Fingerspelling, what is it for? Words with no signs, IE: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious You don t know the sign If you don t understand, you can spell (clarification)

16 Fingerspelling, what is it for? Abbreviations/acronyms

17 Fingerspelling, what is it for? Abbreviations/acronyms IE: F-L-A, Florida Mrs. Dr.

18 Fingerspelling, what is it for? Abbreviations/acronyms Emphasis the word

19 Fingerspelling, what is it for? Abbreviations/acronyms Emphasize the word IE: W-H-A-T?!?!?! or N-O!

20 Fingerspelling Rules:

21 Fingerspelling Rules: Correct Hand Position: LESSON 1 Keep your hands forward to the reader. Don t bounce your hand Don t change hands for one word Comfortable position; hand is not stiff

22 Fingerspelling Rules: Correct Hand Position: Held approximately between the chin & the shoulder level

23 Fingerspelling Rules: Correct Hand Position: Held approximately between the chin & the shoulder level Don t spell in front of your face (blocking the lip-readers)

24 Fingerspelling Rules: Correct Hand Position: Use your dominant hand

25 Fingerspelling Rules: Correct Hand Position: Use your dominant hand (the hand that you use the most)

26 Fingerspelling Rules: Correct Hand Position: LESSON 1 Use your dominant hand (the hand that you use the most) I am right-handed, so I use my right hand a lot.

27 Fingerspelling Rules: Speed or Clarity?

28 Fingerspelling Rules: Clarity! Be sure that your fingerspelling is CLEAR and understandable!

29 Fingerspelling Rules: Clarity! LESSON 1 Be sure that your fingerspelling is CLEAR and understandable! Speed is not important (not always)

30 Fingerspelling Rules: Mouthing: Mouth the WHOLE word, not individual letters

31 Fingerspelling Rules: Where to look? Look at the signer s face, around the chin level and the whole body. Don t look at the signer s hands

32 Fingerspelling Rules: Double letters: Vary depending on the position in the word IE: Pizza Jazz

33 Fingerspelling Rules: Double letters: Typically double letters repeat at the beginning (Aaron) and in the middle of the word (Miller) move laterally at the end of the word (Bill)

34 Fingerspelling Rules: Two words: Pause between words Move your hands over little Watch

35 Fingerspelling Rules: Two words: If you don t pause, it will be like one long word. It will look like this: didyoueatmychickennuggets?

36 How can I practice my fingerspelling?

37 Look at the signs, road signs, restaurants, store names, books, listening to songs/tv/radio, or thinking out loud.

38 There are fingerspelling games on my blog: silentheartministries.wordpress.com Under Home School ASL Lessons Sign Language Practice & Games
