Learning the odd ASL sign.

September 15th, 2009

We have been teaching our child baby sign but one of the things we find frustrating is finding out what a sign is that we don’t know. Online resources often consist of images with an arrow and you are left trying to decipher how you are really supposed to perform the sign.  Enter a cool website I just found Signing Savvy. It features a search engine the brings up a video showing you how to sign any of the words in it’s database. For non-registered users you can look up 5 signs a day, registered users get 10 signs a day for free. For unlimited usage it is $10 a month or $50 a year. If you are like us and just want to look up a word now and then, this is a great free resource.

1/2 (16oz) jar natural nutty peanut butter. (Laura Scudder’s)
2 pinch hot pepper flakes

The base of this recipe makes a very thick pasty sauce.  I’ll leave the thinning out to your personal tastes.
