Sign Language Class at South Sound Parent to Parent
Beginning Sign Language classes are held on Wednesday evenings, 7:00-8:00, at the
P2P building. This class generally runs for 10 weeks, teaching the basics of American
Sign Language, but including information on other sign systems, including Signing Exact
English. It is designed for family, friends, teachers, and childcare providers for
young children with a hearing loss or who may be non-verbal communicators. We learn
the alphabet and fingerspelling techniques, as well as many signs that help us communicate
with children in our lives that may benefit from a visual language. Some categories of
sign include family members, objects in the home and classroom, descriptors like size, color, texture and
feelings, and action verbs. We learn to ask questions, and to work on facial expression and body
language. Have fun learning sign language through partner practice, songs, games, and direct instruction.
