Hebrew:
Hebrew will be taught using the Sarah and David Hebrew Language curriculum. This program utilizes visual, auditory, and kinesthetic activities to help students learn the Hebrew letters and vowels, master letter and vowel decoding, develop fluent reading skills, and learn basic vocabulary. The older grades will develop mastery in prayer chanting and understanding. The curriculum uses textbooks, workbooks, posters, a cd, and on-line materials.

In Kitah Bet, students will review letter recognition. Using the Aleph Bet Story materials, students will hear stories which bring the letters to life and aid in memory retention. Games and a multi-sensory approach are stressed. Students will begin reading Hebrew by putting together the letter and vowel sounds. Simple vocabulary words are introduced and the children will begin to write the letters in script.
Each student will use the books Sarah, David and You read Hebrew, starting with Book 1 and progressing through the series, with the goal of completing Book 4 or 5.
