The Australian fingerspelled alphabet poster is ideal for any Early Childhood or Primary School setting. A2 size; Printed on Glossy paper; Ideal size for laminating; Bright and colourful; Clear graphics. We have increased the size of this poster. Originally A3 in size the poster is now bigger and has an additional 5 signs at the bottom: What? Which? Where? Who? When?

Benefits of introducing Fingerspelling and Sign Language:

• Signing with young hearing children works to enhance early literacy skills.
• Signing increases young children's confidence to learn new skills.
• Signing engages children in literacy activities
• Signing allows children to use multiple senses to learn new information
• The signs children learn look like the letters and words you want to teach them
• Creating signs helps children connect concrete objects to abstract concepts
• The above bullet points from "Kirsten Dennis, author of Sign to Learn"
