Fingerspelling plays an important role in American Sign Language and is frequently used for names, places, and concepts that may not have a commonly used sign.

This live online class will introduce practical strategies for improving both fingerspelling comprehension and production. Participants will learn visual recognition techniques, common patterns in fingerspelled words, and strategies that help move learners from slow, letter-by-letter decoding to smoother, more confident communication.
