HandsUP! ASL Word Wall
ASL-ENGLISH Vocabulary Builder
$4.99 · Designed for iPad
A highly interactive dual language (ASL-English) vocabulary building tool with 700+ picture/printed words categorized and displayed by ASL handshape for easy reference.
The HandsUP! ASL Word Wall is a vocabulary building tool that supports sign and print word learning in a bilingual context: American Sign Language (ASL) and English. This unique interactive visual dictionary includes over 700 preloaded picture/printed words that are categorized and displayed by the ASL phonological parameter of handshape (not alphabetically in English). This format allows signers to use handshape to search for a sign that they know in ASL and are learning to read and spell in English.
FEATURES:
• Handshape Classification System includes the 43 most common
handshapes in ASL. Words are categorized and displayed by
handshape for easy reference.
• Provides an accessible visual reference system to develop a growing
core of words that become part of a signing, reading and writing
vocabulary.
• Facilitates sign/print analysis skills to anchor vocabulary in long-term
memory.
• Encourages student independence as they work with words in reading
and writing.
• Increases engagement and motivation - Personalize the ASL Word
Wall by adding new vocabulary words using built-in drawing tools,
your device’s photo library/gallery, or using your device’s camera.
• Relationships between signs and printed words become more explicit
when students actively create a personal collection of key vocabulary
and subject-specific vocabulary items.
• The Word Wall is flexible and can be used effectively across grade
levels and subjects areas.
• Create multiple personalized themed word walls to organize different
subject area vocabulary (e.g., Science, Math).
• Includes a Drag N’ Drop game for sign or print vocabulary practice.
