Paperback
(Behrman House Jan. 1, 1999)
, Print ed edition
Every feature of this primer - from its¬ground-breaking methodology¬to its¬vibrant, streamlined design¬- has been years in the making.¬Shalom Uvrachah: The New Hebrew Primer¬teaches decoding skills from key cultural words and concepts. For example, students learn the letters¬kuf¬and¬tzadee¬from the word¬tzedakah; they learn¬tet¬from¬tallit¬and¬zayin¬from¬mezuzah.
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 discrimination 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
