Mitkadem Our Hebrew program is based on the materials from the Behrman House publishing company. Our Pre-K/K class uses “Let’s Discover the Alef-Bet.” These are individual pamphlets in alef-bet order that help introduce the Hebrew letters. Our 1st/2nd Grade uses “Ready, Set, Go Alef-Bet,” an engaging book of reading readiness that helps build early decoding skills and offers some basic conversational words. Our 3rd grade uses “Alef-Bet Quest,” a text designed to increase cultural Hebrew words, such as mezuzah and shofar, along with modern Hebrew. The focus is reading fluency. The 4th-6th grades use the Kol Yisrael series, a series designed for reading and prayer fluency. Beginning with the 3rd grade, our students also use a built-in computer component with engaging games and additional tools to further the students’ reading. The 7th grade focuses on a review of prayers and then moves into modern Hebrew with the text “Let’s Talk: Modern Hebrew for Teens.” For additional information on the Behrman House materials, please visit the following website: http://www.behrmanhouse.com
