Website Review ~ ASLpro.com

Website: ASLpro.com

Appropriate for ages: all ages

Helps with: Learning American Sign Language

Review: Kids are interested in Sign Language. This is a great website to help them get started on the basics. It is not a website to take you from knowing nothing about Sign Language to being fluent in signs, but it will help you learn some signs that you can experiment with. When you first load the page, you will see an introduction. Scroll down; from there you will see links to area of the site. The site is grouped by categories of signs such as signs for babies, religious signs, conversational signs, etc. Click the link to start learning what you are interested in. Once you feel confident, you can even try to take a multi-choice quiz. The thing that I liked about this site is that it shows videos of each sign. This is much more effective for teaching signs than illustrations! Elementary age kids are often very interested in Sign Language. See if you can't experiment and learn a few.

  1. I would like to donate to the aslpro site used to asl practice, but not via the internet. Do you have an address to send a donation to? Email me at lastchancecully@yahoo.com

  2. Sorry, it took me so long to get back to you. I haven't been around here much lately :( I have no idea. From looking on their site, I would say that they are probably going to suggest to just donate on the web. I know you said that you don't want to do that, so I don't know what else to say to you other than it is probably a pretty safe way to make sure that your donation gets to them.
