Teaching Tips – to learn how to sign autumn in ASL

• Think of your arm that lays sideways as the tree, and the hand you brush your elbow with as the leaves falling from the trees. Learning sign language is easiest when you imagine pictures in your mind that link the sign to the concept the sign stands for.

• Talk to your child about all the things that they observe in autumn (the leaves fall, the weather gets cooler, we wear warmer clothes, etc.). Start each sentence with “In Autumn we (see/say/feel) _____________” and demonstrate how to sign autumn each time.

Transcript
