Let's Sign: BSL Building Blocks Tutor

This work contains a background and brief history of British Sign Language and its importance to deaf people's lives. It introduces the Building Blocks of BSL - the handshapes, locations, and movements together with the non-manual features of the face and body. The images show Amy and Ben signing a useful basic vocabulary that learners of all ages can relate to. The signs chosen include social and emotional concepts that should also complement programmes aimed at developing social and interpersonal competence and emotional literacy.
