I’m 32 years of age and I am a fully hearing student of ASL 2. I understand that finger spelling is apart of the ASL culture and it is a skill that I must master. I am able to finger spell without a problem, but my reception of finger spelling is very bad. No, it is not because I am a lazy student or I am not putting in my time, it is because I was born with dyslexia. I am able to see each letter as it is signed, but putting the letters together to forum a word is very hard. I have spent hours on asl.ms to work on my skills, but I am still having a hard time with it.
I need to see the whole word to make out what it is. That is how I was brought up, sound out each letter. But to sound the word out in my head without seeing it is a problem for me.
If you are a hearing student with dyslexia, do you have any ideas or ways to improve your finger spelling reception? Or, any other ideas to help with ASL overall with having dyslexia?
