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. 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 and script fonts, enhanced by arrows showing how to form each letter.
