Power Reading				20 Tips for Classroom Management

The New Siddur Program includes a basic vocabulary of over 200 words. It also emphasizes understanding roots, a powerful tool allowing

students to rapidly and easily expand their vocabulary. And, while teaching this vocabulary, the program reinforces values: When students learn the word shalom, they learn more than the word "peace"; they learn that the root of shalom means completeness or harmony, and they learn that this is what the Jewish people have always yearned for.

Upon completion of the New Siddur Program, students will be able to:

• Read fluently from the siddur, pick out key words that help them understand the prayers' themes, and discuss the concept of each prayer in English.
• Walk into any synagogue and participate in holiday or Shabbat services.
• Feel a sense of comfort and familiarity with Jewish prayer and rituals and important home ceremonies.

Special features of the series:

• Emphasizes siddur vocabulary and prayer roots
• Uses stories to reinforce vocabulary
• Covers the Shabbat morning prayers and key selections from the Friday evening service
• Provides enrichment opportunities to introduce modern language
• Includes workbooks, teacher's editions, audio tapes, word cards, and family education folders
• Offers opportunities to assess reading fluency and to measure comprehension and retention of prayer grammar and concepts

Use Managing the New Siddur Program: the Educational Director's Guide to customize the series to meet your school's goals.
