Great Guide

I have been in a sign choir for a few years. Yet, the alphabet has always been a struggle for me. This short and simple guide has been very helpful for me. The pictures and descriptions are great. I also like that you can easily navigate to each sign via the linked table of contents. I will be practicing my abc s this summer and be ready for when my sign choir meets again in the fall.

I highly suggest this book of you are new to sign language and would like to learn a basic but essential part of the language.

I have always wanted to learn sign language. I pretty much knew the alphabet in sign language, this book was a good brush up and the explanation helped me to remember how to do the sign. Good reference book to keep practicing with.
THANK YOU

Very good book!

I finally learned the alphabet in sign language in only one day after reading this! I had tried several times before using other books and materials but they were so tedious I never finished. This time I did. Good job!
