  • BSL KING CHARLES 3rd CORONATION SOUVENIR & ACTIVITY BOOK: Colouring Puzzles & Games: British Sign Language Vocabulary

    02
    Enjoy this Souvenir Activity book with puzzles, games and colouring pages for all the family to enjoy.

    This publication began as a free download of six posters for families and teachers looking for BSL materials for revision of signs learned in classes to mark the historic event of the Coronation of King Charles 3rd on 6th May 2023 .

    Downloading and printing is not readily available to everyone and it became evident that there was a need for a printed version – and so the six posters have grown into an activity booklet that can also be kept as a souvenir of this landmark occasion. It contains a mixture of colouring pages, wordsearches and fingerspelling puzzles.

    The sign vocabulary includes:
    King, Charles, 3rd, Coronation, Parade, Westminster Abbey, Street, Party, Cake, Picnic, Family, Friends, Horse, Gold, Carriage, Buckingham Palace, Royal Family, British, Flag, Red, White, Blue.

    These are again listed with written descriptions in a Glossary at the back of the book along with the Fingerspelling Alphabet and Handshape Key.

    The colouring pages have a blank reverse to avoid bleed-through
    and there are a number of word puzzles to entertain individual and family groups with varying degrees of difficulty.

  • AUSLAN FINGERSPELLING FOR TOTS: Little Beginner’s Handbook: Australian Sign Language (LET’S SIGN)

    01
    Fingerspelling is a valuable life skill that many adults can still remember from learning in their childhood decades earlier.
    Each letter of the alphabet is represented on the hands, providing a direct link to English and literacy that is not only vital for deaf children and youngsters with additional communication and language needs, but can potentially benefit all youngsters from infancy onwards.

    This colourful little resource includes

    • Outline of the role of fingerspelling in Australian Sign Language
    • Clearly illustrated handshapes and positions with two separate views
    • One letter per page with ‘reader view from front’ and ‘signers own hands’
    • Includes examples of signs based on fingerspelling
    • Sample short words to practice
    • Large graphics and text
    • Supported by the Let’s Sign series for learners
    • Useful for learners of Auslan and Sign Supported English (SSE)

    Designed to encourage the use of fingerspelling from an early age and demonstrates two views of each letter – as the viewer sees it from the front and as the signer sees it on their own hands.

    Switching hands and trying to work out which hand is which is common with learners and
    having both views is helpful in establishing good signing practice.

    Fingerspelling is an important and integrated part of Auslan and represents each letter of the alphabet on the hands. It can be used to spell out whole words, abbreviated forms or initials.
    It can be easily learned but needs a lot of practice to read back and to develop fluency in producing the rhythms and patterns.

    For consistency in this resource, all the graphics depict the letters as formed by a right-handed signer. Left-handed signers will use the reverse mirror image of this.
