Journeys: A Hebrew Primer

Book Summary

Tiyulim means 'journeys.' This book is the path to a journey towards mastering the decoding skills for the Hebrew Language. It is punctuated with a journey through the state of Israel. It includes: * 24 forty-five minute lessons (with additional material available). * a research based introduction of the letters, vowels, and sounding patterns of the Hebrew language. * the introduction of each letter using Hebrew key words with visual cuing that have been introduced in our sequence of pre-primers and that will continue to be used in the sequence of Siddur books that lead from this series. * visual prompting that reinforces directionality and aides in discrimination. * an emphasis on Siddur words, Siddur phases, and the mastery of the performance of short prayers such as the Shema. * short, fun activities and website that allows parents to hear every answer and every Hebrew word with their child. * separate writing and printing that allow schools to focus on the modality they choose. Each of these is filled with additional decoding and discrimination activities and some really 'fun' games and exercises that can enrich the use of the core book. * photographs and short texts that provide a visit to the State of Israel that decorate the text and connect Hebrew to Israel. 'Ulpan' panels provide burst of three to five modern Hebrew words to explore. Reading exercises often follow the Tiyulim themes. * Tiyulim is beautifully designed. Each page is a new visual adventure. It is clearly laid-out, making it easy to use, even with students with issues with visual distraction, and it is filled with really fun activities, games, races, and images.
