ASL 3 Advanced — Little Signers (Ages 4–7) · 45-Week Course
$15 per class or $675 for all 45 classes
This advanced, full-year American Sign Language course is designed for young learners ages 4–7 who are ready to grow their confidence and communication skills in ASL. Students should have completed a beginner/intermediate ASL course (such as ASL Series 1–2) or have a basic understanding of the alphabet, numbers, and simple signs.
In this interactive weekly class, students will continue building their ASL skills through storytelling, role-play, games, and guided conversations. We focus on helping children move beyond single signs into full expressions, using facial expressions, body movement, and visual storytelling to communicate clearly and naturally.
✔️Throughout the course, students will:
✔️Practice real conversations in ASL (voice-off encouraged when appropriate)
✔️Learn to tell simple stories using signs, classifiers, and role shift
✔️Improve fingerspelling, number fluency, and sentence structure
✔️Build confidence expressing ideas, feelings, and experiences
✔️Strengthen understanding of Deaf culture and communication norms
This is a structured, full curriculum class that meets weekly and builds over time. Each lesson includes a mix of review, new vocabulary, interactive activities, and practice to support all learning styles. Because skills build each week, consistent attendance is encouraged.
