We had another busy week at Religious School. On Sunday, we played Hebrew games with the reading material. We love watching the students assist and correct each other. Their ability to gently correct their peers is the ultimate form of assessment.
On Sunday, we had our mid-year Hebrew assessments. We will be reviewing these assessments and make the appropriate adjustments to our reading groups to allow each of our students the best opportunity to improve his/her reading skills.
Each child was asked to:
- Know the name and sound of the letters of the alphabet including sofit (final) letters.
- Know the different
sounds of the Hebrew nekudot (vowels).
- Understand the
correspondence between letters and nekudot (vowels).
- Explain the visual
differences between letters that look alike but are different.
- Practice right to left
dictionality of Hebrew.
- Decode one to three
syllable sound and combination words.
- Use a list of vowel
rules to aid in decoding difficult or unusual sounds combinations such as:
a) Whenה and יare silent.
b) How to
determine when ןֹ ן. ן are
consonants or vowels.
c)
Identifying the “double duty dot” on the שׁ and
.שׂ
As
always, the Hebrew Resource page is available as a tool for you to
assist your child on their Hebrew reading and tefillah chanting. Please
feel free to be in touch with any questions.
We wish you and your family a restful Shabbat.
