By Nili Ziv

Learn more about this title!

The excitement of learning Hebrew as a living language continues with Shalom Ivrit 2. It introduces and brings to life a spirited group of characters from modern short stories, folk tales, and midrash. In the process, students explore key Jewish values such as self-respect, generosity, and friendship. Most importantly, students have fun as their ability to read—and understand—grows and grows.

Students acquire 151 new words and develop their language and comprehension skills. They learn to understand increasingly difficult and complex stories, and also to conduct simple conversations in Hebrew.

Features and Benefits:

• High-interest, age-appropriate stories, riddles, and poems told in simple Hebrew motivate students and position them for success in reading comprehension and fluency.
• Each chapter begins with a story that teaches a key Jewish value (such as peace, generosity, and truth), and a quote from Jewish sacred text that illuminates the value, thus affirming for students the connection between Jewish tradition and the study of modern Hebrew.
• A variety of comprehension activities—including puzzles, cloze technique (sentence completion), true and false, and word/picture matches—reinforce instruction and provide students with the practice that is necessary to build skills.
• Lush, whimsical illustrations help make Shalom Ivrit 2 lively and motivating.
• Basic grammar—including possessives, present tense verb endings, and root letters—is presented sequentially and clearly, increasing familiarity with Hebrew word structure and syntax as an integral part of language acquisition.
