Other ASL Learning Resources

Our twelve-lesson curriculum is the first in what we hope will become a several-book series. As we have noted, the goal of our curriculum is to embed rich language in your child’s environment. Thanks to thoughtful, detailed feedback from our readers, we have revised the introduction and first four chapters of this curriculum, then added 200% more content to the second edition. In fact, it was our readers who helped us select the routines for the new chapters!

In the short term, we look forward to sharing this new edition with providers and families. In the long term, our next goal is to develop a similar curriculum for families of older children, in which we will also begin to address the needs of signers with more intermediate-level ASL skills. Thank you for being part of this journey with us!
