GOALS AND OUTCOMES
Our Aleph Champ program for grades 1-7, modeled after the Karate Martial Arts system of motivational colored levels, breaks up the Hebrew reading process into bite sized motivational levels.
Students start as a white Aleph Champ working their way through the different “belts” until they become a black Aleph Champ with the ability to read fluently from the Siddur (prayerbook).
Our Hebrew School individualizes Aleph Champ instruction providing each student with a one-on-one tutoring session, made possible on a zoom platform. Our students progress at their own pace and get tested before advancing to the next level.
At the start of the year you will be asked to select a time that is most convenient for your child’s tutoring session to take place. Information to log in to your child’s virtual classroom will be sent to you via email.
Hebrew reading homework practice reinforces what students have learned that week and enables children to progress more quickly. Our Hebrew reading homework system makes homework fun and doable. Details about the program can be found here.
Students who complete homework are rewarded for their efforts.
