How to sign “September” in ASL
BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the American sign. See the BSL sign for “September” instead
Step by step
- Make a fist with your thumb laid across the front of your fingers to form S.
- Curl your fingertips down over your thumb to shape the letter E.
- Point your index and middle fingers down with your thumb between them for P.
- Close into a fist with your thumb tucked between your index and middle fingers for T.
- Keep your hand steady at chest height, palm forward, spelling the four letters without bouncing.
Practice tip
September is the one long month that takes four letters — S-E-P-T, not three.
