How to sign “Page” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Page” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Hold your non-dominant hand open and flat at waist height, palm facing up, like an open book.
- Form an A fist with your dominant hand, thumb pressed against the knuckles.
- Raise the dominant fist over the open hand and flick the thumb upward.
- Sweep the raised thumb sideways across the open palm, as if flipping a page over.
- Keep your gaze on the open hand, as if reading the page you just turned.
Practice tip
The thumb is the turning page — swipe it the other way and the page turns backward.
