Shalom Uvrachah: The New Hebrew Primer

(Description from the publisher – click on image to download Chapter 7)

Every feature of this primer – from its ground-breaking methodology to its vibrant, streamlined design – has been years in the making.

 

Shalom Uvrachah makes use of the best contemporary educational theory:

 

  • Meaningful words teach decoding skills.
  • Vowel sounds are systematically introduced in small, manageable increments.
  • Confusing look-alike and sound-alike letters are introduced separately.

Exercises include:

 

  • Visual distinction practice
  • Similar letter-sound and vowel-sound drills
  • Writing practice to reinforce the forms of the letters
  • Exercises allowing teachers to customize reading practice for each class
  • Checkpoints to monitor student progress

 

Teaching Hebrew writing has been simplified with custom-designed Hebrew print fonts, enhanced by arrows showing how to form each letter.

 

Shalom Uvrachah also features:

 

  • Selected readings of key prayers and blessings, including Shema, Ve’ahavta, and Aleinu
  • Heritage dictionary of 80 cultural words
  • Explanation of special reading rules
  • Text and activities together in one volume
