How The Skill and Drill Book is Organized

 

 

Four Main Sections

 

a) Basics

This is a warm-up section. Co-author, Lily Yacobi explains in a fun and friendly way WHAT you will be doing and WHY. To see what you remember after a short or long break from Hebrew reading, there are warm-up exercises centered on Hebrew letters or vowels. The Basics Section describes the ‘beats and baskets’ technique to ensure that you have a good understanding of this key reading skill.

b) The Workout Section

The Workout Sections gives students pages of reading practice and activities to build quick recognition of vowels, letters and word endings. You’ll be doing ‘beats and baskets’ throughout to build Hebrew reading fluency as you work through the Vowel Workout, Letter Workout and Endings Workout sections.

c) Readings from the Bible and Prayers

Beginning with the Vowel Section, there are Hebrew phrases from the Bible that are also used in the Siddur or prayer book, as well as vocabulary and sample texts. Sample texts are noted on the Checklist on page six of The Skill and Drill Book.

d) Checklist

The Checklist on page six makes it easy to see all of the topics in the book at-a-glance.

Use it to organize lessons or to find the topic you want to work on.
