There is no such thing as "English signing". There is no universal sign language, because of the different languages on the planet.
People who speak English sign in the version of sign language adopted by their country. For example:
- British Sign Language
- American Sign Language
- Auslan (Australian Sign Language)
- Canadian Sign Language
- And so on.

The way we teach them here is by starting with simple concrete objects. You point at a tree, then show them the sign for tree. Or you point at the color red and show them the sign for the word red. Once they start understanding that everything has a sign, they'll start asking you about signs. After awhile you teach them the alphabet and numbers, and go from there.
