This workbook was developed to
improve accuracy and fluency in Hebrew reading. It is designed to help students
master the basic reading or kriah skills that a child needs to build all future
learning. It is presumed that the student already has a basic knowledge of the
Hebrew alphabet and nekudos, but has never mastered specific reading and
fluency skills. The workbook is divided into 10 sections -each lesson
introducing a specific sub-skill. Included are independent exercises to
reinforce each skill being taught Subjects covered are areas of common
confusion, such as, areas distinguishing nekudos, dagesh, shin and sin, and
vocal and silent letters. The introduction specifies the most effective methods
for teaching oral as well as silent reading. It is expected that the student
will greatly benefit by having those reading skills taught in a
systematic/multi modality manner, while also having the opportunity to build
other important skills related to reading, such as following directions and
organization.
