Learning the ASL alphabet
If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out my post on teaching preschoolers the ASL alphabet for some helpful hints on how to remember all the signs. Learning the alphabet of a language is so important for language acquisition but it is extra important in ASL because of finger spelling and many signs are based on letters.
Why should preschoolers learn ASL?
Like I mentioned above, I truly believe that ASL is a great language for children to learn. According to this post from Educational Playcare there are some fantastic benefits for children who are learning ASL including:
- +12 IQ point advantage
- Accelerated speech and emotional development
- Reinforcement of learning of educational concepts such as ABC’s, animals, and other specific themes
- Helps children remember words because there is muscle memory involved, and the more senses involved in learning, the greater memory retention the child will have
- Improves attentiveness to social gestures of others as well as of themselves
- Larger speaking vocabulary and ability to form longer sentences
- Earlier reading and larger reading vocabulary
I am really blown a way by all the benefits there are from learning ASL! I do think there’s something about the physical motion that helps children learn the alphabet faster.

We have incorporated ASL into our homeschool as well. We have a box of ASL flash cards and introduced new ones each week. I’m enjoying learning it as much as the kids are.

Thanks so much Faith. ASL is such a great language to learn. I hope to add more free ASL resources and information about Deaf culture for preschoolers to learn.

Love this so much! I have wanted to teach my kids ASL during our extended time at home, but flashcards aren’t working like I’d hoped they would. I will absolutely be trying these. Thank you!
Two Pink Peonies
Awesome! I hope you guys enjoy these free ASL alphabet coloring pages.

These are really wonderful! I think a lot of people forget about those with hearing impairments and this is an excellent way to teach our little ones about that. It’s also a valuable skill if they keep going and learning more signs!
Two Pink Peonies
You are so right. I really do feel like learning ASL is a valuable skill for children.
Dana
I love this! These sheets are great. I absolutely love these and I know these will be so valuable to our children’s success.

I never really considered teaching the kids ASL, aside from baby sign language (more, all done, etc) but this seems like a fun and interesting lesson for them. I love it!
Two Pink Peonies
That’s awesome! ASL is such a great second language for kids to study!

What a cute idea! At one point I was fluent but I really only did baby sign with my son. Doing the ASL alphabet could help my son work on his fine motor/body awareness/etc. Thanks 🙂
