Communication Friendly Schools – Sign of the Fortnight

So far, we have shared the following signs with you – see previous posts:

  • thank you
  • sorry
  • well done
  • help you
  • help me
  • numbers 0-10

The new signs for this week are the alphabet finger spelling signs – this is a fundamental sign in BSL and if you know the finger spelling then you can communicate at a simple level with a deaf person through spelling out the words.
