Bringing British Sign Language to primary classrooms
Welcome to SignSpell
SignSpell is a strategy to develop communication, literacy and language skills in primary aged children.
For teachers, it is an exciting learning approach with an extensive set of resources that they can trust.
For children, SignSpell is fun and engaging.
You don’t need any sign language knowledge to use SignSpell. We’re here so that grown ups and children can read and learn BSL together!
At school
SignSpell encourages primary school children to enjoy reading and develop their key language and literacy skills through an introduction to BSL.
At home
Each SignSpell story enables families and children to share a learning experience. Children and their families can enjoy Zip’s adventures together, and even enhance what is learnt at school.
