American Sign Language Alphabet

When using baby sign language, the manual alphabet can help in a few wonderful ways:

 

1. Knowing the sign language alphabet can make it easier to form other handshapes required when learning and using American Sign Language.

2. Babies can actually learn to fingerspell! This means reading comes sooner!
