So, what are more ways to incorporate ASL into your classroom? Another great strategy is to label the classroom with the written word and the ASL sign. This engages the visual cortex and enhances brain development. ASL provides an opportunity for a child-directed approach to learning.  As we know, children learn best through child-guided activities, where children are free to explore materials and acquire skills through their own experiences.  Labeling the classroom with a combination of written words and ASL signs provides a support tool for children to explore the materials while building their vocabulary. It is a win-win for everyone.  PLUS, filling the classroom environment with rich vocabulary and visual literacy supports all learners.
