Yes she did, before Annie Sullivan came, she used her own rudimentary "home signs" to communicate to the household what she wanted. When Annie came, Annie struggled to teach her the concept of names for objects, and Annie was always finger spelling to Helen. Finger spelling is the sign language alphabet. Helen would copy Annie's fingers, but Helen didn't understand that the letters represented something. Helen's breakthrough was with the word WATER. Annie and Helen were at the water pump, and Annie spelled W-A-T-E-R into Helen's hand. It was then that a light bulb went off in Helen's head, and she understood. Helen then asked who Annie was, and Annie said Teacher. Annie would read books to Helen, spelling the words into Helen's hand until her hands were sore. Helen gave great speeches this way, spelling into Annie's hand who would say the words aloud.
