Best ABC Stories in ASL?

Sunday January 27, 2008
My teen had to do an ABC story in sign language (a story using the sign language alphabet) at his deaf school. He came to me for help, but I have no experience doing ABC stories in ASL. So, I turned to YouTube for help. There, I found plenty of ABC stories in ASL. Some of them are listed below. Which one do you think is the best one? Despite my pleas, he would not agree to do his ABC story on video for About.com. He did however, agree to let me post the written version (I did not help write it) of his ABC Story, "Deaf Club:"
  1. Open Door
  2. Enter
  3. Group
  4. Deaf
  5. Environment
  6. Look
  7. Umm
  8. Deaf
  9. Imagine
  10. Jerry
  11. Perfect
  12. Camera
  13. Memory
  14. See
  15. Nothing
  16. People
  17. Picture (Wall)
  18. Reason
  19. Put on the wall
  20. Tan
  21. Paint
  22. See
  23. Weird
  24. Scratch
  25. Shine
  26. Writing
(story continued with 1-5 numbers)
  1. Agree
  2. Look
  3. Heard
  4. Noisy
  5. Finish

Need to post a couple of mine. Did you share yours with him? There are some abc stories inside you. I dare you to share. (devilishly grinning here)

ABC stories are neat. You may want to list one handshape stories, too. Jehanne at http://www.jehanne.wordpress.com did many of them (Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, Memorial’s Day) and they are adorable, too.
