Learn To Read Hebrew

***If your student is from Central and starting, they might know letters already and may be able to skip some letters or do the program at an accelerated pace.  Please keep that in mind and assess their knowledge with letter charts as you go.

*** If your student is from any of the synagogues, already did 24 sessions and is not yet on packet 7, please consider accelerating them to go at a faster pace if possible.  Also, if they are in 5th or 6th grade, you should move them as fast as they are able to go while still getting a good foundation.  They really want to maximize the time all 5th-6th graders spend on prayers.

*** In the courses below, there are probably more than enough extra practice exercises- you do NOT need to do all of them.  Just enough to get in good practice.  You can take your time more with the 3rd and 4th graders, but pick up the pace for 5th and 6th.  

Average time per packet=45 minutes.  3 sessions on 1a,1b, level 1 review, etc.  

Packets 1-4 in 12 sessions; Packets 1-8 in 24 sessions if possible.
