HANDS-ON HEBREW

An experiential model for supplementary schools

Why it works

• Incentivizing the language learning experience
• Focusing on strategy building within immersion setting
• Raising the bar for conversational fluency
• Introducing reading and writing competence as keys to language acquisition
• Maximizing the impact of every moment of the language encounter

Who benefits?

Easy answer?  Everyone!

Whether you've spent 12 years or 2 months learning Hebrew, this is your chance to use that knowledge to advantage... 

• Gain insight into prayers and biblical texts
• Connect with Jews across the world
• Go out to eat and order in Hebrew
• Read a novel or Israeli newspaper

What's the big deal?

Too many American students graduate from Jewish day school with little confidence in their Hebrew abilities.  

• Why can't American high school students read Israeli novels and discuss them in class?  
  
• Why don't Hebrew classes engage student interest to advance language ability?
• Why shouldn't students engage in the same intellectual activities in their Hebrew classes that are the norm in general studies?  
  

With the right incentives, students will discover their true potential as language learners.  
                                                                        But if we don't push the limits, we'll never know.  
                                                                                                                                                      The time is now.

 Everyone has a story.
Many people remember their Hebrew language experiences with strong feelings, both positive and negative.  


Strategic Hebrew aims to ameliorate the Hebrew language learning process.  We know that everyone's perspective is valuable.

Why is Hebrew important to you?



Camp Sicha
Campers will participate in a topic-based day camp experience that will allow them to improve their Hebrew language skills while engaging in activities they enjoy.  Through the multimodal programming, campers will gain strategies for better interpreting spoken and written Hebrew and for expressing themselves more confidently.  

Each session is one week long, with activities built around a specific topic.   
Campers can choose from: 

• Baseball 
• Restaurant experience

Aleph Bet BlueprintThe curriculum for day schools takes several forms, depending on the needs of your school and teachers.

• A modular, topical approach that engages balanced literacy techniques to advance students' listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
• Curricular consultation on how to incorporate strategy development into an existing program.

We can work with you and your staff to create a balance that fits your community.




Hands-On-Hebrew
This incentivized approach is perfect for supplementary and religious schools.  

Through hands-on activities, students engage in topical activities that encourage them to utilize common shorashim (Hebrew roots).  

Students learn to identify these now-familiar roots within prayers and biblical texts, leading to a deeper comprehension of religious sources and a more meaningful bar/bat mitzvah experience.  

Get involved on the ground floor.  Share your Hebrew language learning experiences.  We look forward to hearing from you!  Or email StrategicHebrew@gmail.com
