Hebrew Reading and language

At Hebrew for Kids, we strive to provide the highest standard of Hebrew
language study in the limited amount of time. In all classes, children immerse in
the Hebrew language.
Our focus is to impart relevant Hebrew language  integrated with Jewish studies.
This allows the children to practically apply the language into appropriate areas of their
lives.

Aleph Champion Hebrew Reading allows each individual child to advance in reading at their own pace and become proficient Hebrew readers. Aleph Champ is based on the
Karate motivational system and integrates color based levels for Hebrew reading. Students start out on the white champ level with a white champ book and white flash
cards and a burning desire to pass to the next level. Age appropriate, creative and motivational methods are used.
