ASL & Accessibility
ASL Learning
What does Christian Kiddo mean by "ASL learning"?
In the ABCs Bundle, ASL learning refers to fingerspelling — the 26 handshapes of the ASL alphabet. It is one of the multisensory learning layers alongside listening, repeating, speaking, singing, tracing, and dancing.
ASL numbers will be introduced separately in the upcoming 123s Bundle.
Is this a full ASL course?
No. Christian Kiddo bundles introduce the ASL alphabet (fingerspelling) as a learning layer. They do not teach full ASL vocabulary or grammar. ASL is included to support early learning and Deaf awareness.
Who is the ASL content for?
The ASL content is designed for Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and hearing children and families learning together. Families explore the signs at their own pace.
Why do you use ASL and not another sign language?
Sign languages differ by country and region. Christian Kiddo uses American Sign Language (ASL) because the bundles are currently available in countries such as the United States and Canada, where ASL is widely used.
Do parents need to be fluent in ASL?
No. Families can begin without knowing ASL and learn alongside their child. The goal is to become familiar with the ASL alphabet together.
Accessibility
Are Christian Kiddo products suitable for Deaf or Hard of Hearing families?
For parents who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing (HoH), written transcripts under the videos help them understand the content.
For children who are Deaf or HoH, parents can help by signing, using headphones, or explaining the stories together. The illustrated videos also show clearly which character is speaking, and expressive emojis help emphasize the scene.
Do the videos include ASL translation?
No. Christian Kiddo videos are not translated into American Sign Language (ASL).
However, the ABCs Bundle includes short ASL alphabet videos that introduce the handshapes of the ASL alphabet. These videos show the final handshape while the narration and written transcript explain how the sign is formed. Most letters are shown as a still handshape image, while the letters J and Z include movement.
The 123s Bundle will introduce ASL number signs as well.
Are there videos or printables to help with the signs?
Yes. For example, in the ABCs Bundle, each letter includes a short ASL reference video that shows the handshape of the ASL alphabet. The letters J and Z include movement because those signs move in ASL. The upcoming 123s Bundle will include a video series for ASL number signs as well.
The ABCs Bundle also includes a reference PDF with the written transcripts of the videos and a DIY poster. The 123s Bundle will include a reference PDF as well and a DIY activity to learn the ASL numbers.
What if we make mistakes while signing?
Mistakes are a natural part of learning and a chance to ask Jesus for His Phewie-Power and try again.
