Now that Shalom Ivrit 2 has been published, we thought we'd review different ways to use this modern Hebrew language series. You can use Shalom Ivrit:
As your primary Hebrew program
If you want to teach modern Hebrew language, devote most of your Hebrew instructional time to Shalom Ivrit. Use the Prayer Companion for bar and bat mitzvah preparation and prayer literacy.
In an accelerated Hebrew class
For students who have completed their prayer study in Hineni, or need an extra challenge, provide a separate study session with Shalom Ivrit during the regular class period or at a different time.
In conjunction with Hineni
If your school has at least 2 hours of Hebrew per week, consider using Shalom Ivrit as modern language enrichment for Hineni.
For example, you can teach Shalom Ivrit over two years, while teaching one book in the Hineni series per year; you can cover only selected parts of Shalom Ivrit, perhaps just the chapter stories and vocabulary; or you can introduce Shalom Ivrit 1 one year after Hineni 1, allowing older students to work through it more quickly.
As a transitional text between Shalom Uvrachah and Hineni 1
Use Shalom Ivrit 1 at the end of the primer year to practice reading, to begin comprehension, and, because of the high interest level of the stories, as a motivational tool to instill a love of Hebrew.
As an alternate Hebrew track
Offer the choice of a prayer track or a modern Hebrew language track in which you use Shalom Ivrit.
As a post-prayer program
Introduce Shalom Ivrit to students who have completed Hineni 3, or as a motivation for post-b'nai mitzvah students who want a change of pace.
Book 3 in the Shalom Ivrit series will be available Spring 2005.
