A Brand New Alef Bet Song to Sing, Record, and Share!

We've refreshed your favorite primer, Alef Bet Quest, with a few new games for the school year-- how well have you done?

After completing each lesson, a matching interactive game will be available to help students learn how to decode Hebrew. 

One of the new games allows students to shoot basketballs in a three-point shooting contest. Students will learn to recognize Hebrew letters and vowels as they play through both Jewish cultural words and everyday Hebrew words

Alef Bet Quest is available with an interactive CD or on the Online Learning Center Edition.

About Alef Bet Quest

Alef Bet Quest - the first multi-media Hebrew primer that fully integrates text-based lessons with computer software - teaches your students to decode Hebrew fluently while it sends them on a guided digital adventure through Israel. Students learn letters and vowels from key Jewish cultural words (matzah, havdalah, Yisrael, shofar, Moshe) as well as everyday Hebrew words (abba, ima, sabba, savta, mishpahah, shalom).

Alef Bet Quest provides:

  • Fun for students. The fully integrated computer application will capture your students' imagination - and attention - with Hebrew video games.
  • Enriched content. Lessons on decoding and fluency unfold against a backdrop of cultural and modern Hebrew vocabulary, with an online adventure that takes students on a 20-stop tour through Israel. Students will develop a connection to Israel as they learn to read.
  • Extra time for Hebrew studies. Educators tell us that when students use interactive software they want to practice their Hebrew at home, creating additional instructional and practice time. Students will love playing the online video games to reinforce their new decoding skills. It's homework they will want to do!
  • Easy implementation and complete support for teachers. No special teacher training is required. The annotated Teacher's Edition covers every aspect of the book and the digital application. One-click online assessment allows teachers to check students' progress easily. Students can also email their lesson summaries to their teacher.
  • Flexibility. A matched workbook for script writing, and a Companion Reader that adds even more modern Hebrew vocabulary, let you tailor Alef Bet Quest to the needs of your school.
  • Peace of mind. The book and CD come bound together. If students lose their CD or want to practice at a different computer, they can download a second copy of the digital application for free!
