How to Sign "ABC"
“ABC” is signed by fingerspelling the letters A-B-C one at a time:
- Form the letter A with your dominant hand (thumb on side of a closed fist).
- Then switch to the letter B (open hand, palm forward, fingers together).
- Then the letter C (form a “C” shape with curved fingers).
Tips
- Keep your hand steady at chest level when fingerspelling.
- Practice the handshapes slowly at first, then increase speed with confidence.
Common Mistakes
- Sloppy or unclear letter shapes.
- Moving the hand too much — keep it steady.
- Not pausing slightly between letters.
Clear handshapes are key in fingerspelling!
