    Fingerspelling Booklet

    Description:

    Fingerspelling is known for generating frustration and anxiety for students and challenging even veteran interpreters. In this comprehensive DVD video, youll learn techniques to read fingerspelling as a unit without seeing each individual letter, unlearn incorrect techniques for forming fingerspelled words, and distinguish between handshapes to speed up your word capture.

    With guidance from Joyce Linden Groode and her model signers, youll unlock the secrets of fingerspelling fluency by practicing the three Cs: Configuration (word shape), Closure (word pattern recognition) and Context (anticipating vocabulary based on topic or category). Tap the power of smooth, clear, and accurate fingerspelling with effective practice exercises for both expressive and receptive skills.

    The DVD includes accounts of historical changes in fingerspelling, individual variations in fingerspelling styles, facial expressions and mouth movements used with fingerspelling, and examples of creative fingerspelling. Signers of every skill level will benefit from warm-up tips to prevent overuse that can lead to tendonitis or repetitive stress injuries.

    Master the mechanics of fingerspelling with material suitable for both advanced and less experienced signers. Fingerspelling: Expressive & Receptive Fluency can be used either in class or individually, as self-paced home study.

    An Instructional Booklet is available (click on "Fingerspelling Booklet" above) that contains a self-evaluation exercise, word activities, answer keys, and supplemental readings to reinforce what you've learned from the DVD. This PDF version of the Instructional Booklet can be downloaded and printed.

    Joyce Linden Groode has taught over 30 years at California State University at Northridge. Her acclaimed fingerspelling workshops have enabled a generation of signers and interpreters to achieve greater mastery of fingerspelling.
