Daily Idea #298: ASL Alphabet

Over the course of the last year with everyone wearing masks, I have realized that I rely extremely heavily on reading people’s lips to understand what they are saying. I have never been tested for hearing loss, nor have I ever thought that I needed any sort of aid in hearing, however, I have always been fascinated with sign language and maybe this is why. In any case, I love that I can have a conversation with my friend who speaks fluent sign language across the room (and while I am not fluent, I can read her lips enough to understand what is she saying when signing by putting the two together).

For today’s daily idea we are bringing out the ASL (American Sign Language) alphabet. It’s a really good skill set to have and requires some great hand/eye coordination. Enjoy learning! And have fun trying to spell out each other’s names or even objects that are around you to see if you can figure out what the other person is saying.
