Many people have asked me ways to improve their ability to read ASL. I remember asking my then teacher the same thing (don't ask how many years ago.) She teased me with the response "marry a deaf man." Of course that would make me an expert at reading him, one would hope, but not necessarily help with a wider variety of signing styles.
Now there are so many options at our browser-tips.
Just do a search of You-tube. I use the key words "deaf vlog" and a slew of things show up.
Of course, not all of them will be perfect signing samples - and not all of them give you a transcript of the content to compare to. But spend some time with your mentors and catch up with what is important to the deaf vloggers.
Not only will your reading skill improve, you just may learn something.
