What educators are saying
Description
This Category sort is now updated to include both Print and digital versions (Boom Cards™)
This ASL category sorting resource was created to assist students in developing basic vocabulary in both American Sign Language and English. Teach categorization of vocabulary by teaching students to sort and categorize new vocabulary words.
Category sort helps you to:
Build Vocabulary
Sort Vocabulary
Assess Vocabulary
Support both English and ASL vocabulary
This massive resource was designed for your deaf and hard of hearing students who enter your classroom without having a robust first language. Students who have experienced language deprivation or exhibit language delays due to inconsistent language input in either English or ASL often struggle with developing and using new vocabulary.
