Teaching Tips – to learn how to sign work in ASL 

  • Puzzles for children are a perfect chance to foster focus, attention, and effort. Tell your child, “Let’s work on this puzzle!” Sign work and ask your child to work and sign with you.
  • While out and about, look for grownups hard at work. Do you see someone working on the road? The power lines? In a police car? Talk about the different work someone can do. What work do the grownups in your child’s world do? Sign work as you discuss!
