About this tool
Build a printable ASL manual alphabet and number poster with adjustable columns, descriptions, look-alike warnings and a quiz mode.
Sign Language Alphabet Poster Maker lays out the one-handed American Sign Language manual alphabet — 26 letters plus the number handshapes 0 to 9 — as a printable classroom poster with a schematic diagram, a short shape label and a description for each handshape. Column count, descriptions and a label-hiding quiz mode are adjustable, and the page count is estimated for you before you print. Built for teachers, parents and beginner learners who want a reference sheet on the wall rather than an app.

Confusable handshapes such as M/N/T, U/V/R and K/P are listed with the detail that separates them.
One click hides the letters so the poster doubles as a recall test without a second print.
The layout estimate tells you whether the poster fits one sheet or spills onto two.
The one-handed American Sign Language manual alphabet, signed with the dominant hand only. British Sign Language, Auslan and the two-handed Indian Sign Language alphabet use a different two-handed system, so this poster should not be used for those languages.
Several overlap: the letter O and the number 0, the letter V and the number 2, the letter F and the number 9, and the letter W with the number 6 (in 6 the little finger touches the thumb, while in W the thumb holds the little finger down). Context normally makes clear which one is meant.
They follow one pattern: each finger in turn touches the thumb while the rest stay up. Little finger to thumb is 6, ring finger is 7, middle finger is 8 and index finger is 9.
It works as a reference and a memory aid, but a flat diagram cannot show depth, wrist rotation or the movement in J and Z. Pair the poster with video or, better, instruction from a Deaf teacher before using fingerspelling in conversation.
