The Interpreter's Tapestry

NOTE: Although this page and other resources assign a sign to a concept for classroom purposes, it is still very important that the student learn the spelled equivalent of the vocabulary as that is what they will see on a test. Frequently pair the fingerspelled word and printed word with the sign equivalent.
