Pre-Primer "Shalom Alef Bet!" Introduced with a Splash

We're very excited to announce that our new pre-primer, Shalom Alef Bet!, which introduces the alef bet to your 2nd and 3rd grade students, is now available. Shalom Alef Bet! precedes Shalom Uvrachah, our best-selling primer, and works hand-in-hand with it. Combined, the two are a powerful tool for early Hebrew education; they will get your students off to a quick start and build a strong foundation for prayer and cultural literacy.

Shalom Alef Bet! prepares your students for Shalom Uvrachah by presenting all the Hebrew letters (except final letters) and gently introducing the vowels--in the same order as Shalom Uvrachah. By the time your students have completed both books in the series they will be able to decode all the Hebrew letters and vowels, to recognize 80 important cultural words, and to write (in either print or script--your choice!). What's most exciting is that the books create a rich cultural and value-laden environment as they teach reading. You'll have the opportunity to explore concepts such as mitzvah, navee, tzedakah, emet, and yisrael as you teach the alef bet.

To celebrate the birth of Shalom Alef Bet! we're doing our equivalent of a simhat bat. Schools which order classroom quantities of Shalom Uvrachah this year can get a classroom supply of Shalom Alef Bet! FREE. To find out more about this special offer, just call us at 800-221-2755. We're so proud of the new addition to our family of books, we want to welcome it with a big splash!
