Have you ever thought about learning a language that doesn’t use words? American Sign Language (ASL) is more than just a way to communicate—it’s a bridge to a whole new world of connection, culture, and fun!
Our Hands in Motion ASL immersive virtual learning pod is an 8-week journey into the basics of ASL for children ages 8 to 11. It is packed with interactive lessons, cultural insights, and opportunities to make new friends. Let’s explore why ASL is such a fantastic skill for kids to learn!
Why Learn ASL?
Make New Friends
Our class is designed to help kids connect. They’ll work together on fun activities and practice signing with each other. Learning something new alongside peers is a great way to form lasting friendships.
Build Confidence
ASL helps kids express themselves in creative ways. They’ll learn to introduce themselves, describe their favorite things, and even tell stories using their hands. With each lesson, their confidence will grow!
Learn About a Unique Culture
ASL is more than just a language—it’s a gateway to understanding Deaf culture. Kids will discover the rich traditions and history of the Deaf community, fostering empathy and respect for others.
Boost Brain Power
Learning a new language improves memory, problem-solving, and focus. ASL is especially fun because it communicates through movement, expression, and creativity.
Have Fun While Learning
Kids love ASL because it’s hands-on and interactive. They’ll learn to fingerspell, sign common phrases, and even share stories—all while having a great time in every session!
Tips for Supporting Your Child’s ASL Journey
Practice Together: Learn a few signs yourself and practice as a family.
Celebrate Progress: Cheer on every new word or phrase they master.
