It has been a bit of a challenge in the Hebrew Reading department with my 5 year old as she is a very hands-on learner and doesn't enjoy sitting and reading for too long. She would much rather color, paint, draw or dance. Which is fine, but I needed to figure out a way to make reading a little more enjoyable for her.
Well, along came CAP IT Hebrew Reading, and I can tell you that from the moment we opened the box, my little princess could not wait to begin. I know. I was a bit shocked myself. Maybe it was the box of miniature toys it came with. Maybe it was the bright colors and the simplicity of the pages. Read on to hear more about this brilliant program.
You see, the cleverness of this program is that it provides Tactile Visual Mnemonics™ for every letter in the Alef Bet. In simple English, you get a box filled with miniature toys that serve as the Visual Mnemonics. Each toy in the box looks and sounds like a letter in the Hebrew alphabet.
For example, for the letter BET- there is an actual little ball in a box. You have the "B" sound as well as the visualization of a ball in a box, like the actual letter BET. Simply genius.
There is also a song that connects to each lesson, hence we can get up to do a little dance to our song making reading just super cool. And the thing that really was amazing were the instant results. She read "ABBA BA". She was beyond proud of herself and couldn't wait to go on to the next letter to see what the next toy would be.
The entire curriculum comes in this box:
And in our humble opinion, the best part of all...
This is the PERFECT Hebrew Reading Curriculum. It makes Hebrew reading FUN and the kids see instant results which makes them feel so good about themselves.
Head on over to their website to check it out for yourself...
We also received the CAP IT Read Fluent Hebrew Siddur Edition which focuses on the kid's decoding skills and builds up a word bank of the most common Siddur words.
This was so fabulous for my son who is already davening, but at 100 miles an hour and not really saying the words correctly. It gave him an entirely new insight into what he is saying and how important it is to say the proper words.
This company gets an A+ in my book.

We use this for Hebrew reading, too. My oldest is ready to move on - it was a good review for him. My kindergartener is enjoying learning the letters in a different way - it's review for him, too, but he doesn't have them mastered yet.
ReplyDeletei was 100 percent satified with the cap it program. In 44 lessons my 5 yr old can read as promised. I quickly ordered the set for my 3 year old and the next level of kriah for my 5 year old. I am looking forward to starting them.MY kids are looking forward to them as well. The program was educational but also fun. no bribery required! The program is self motivating! What I like about it most is that it is is done in a very progressive way and it saved me years of teaching kids the archaic way that every other school and workbook that Ive come across offered. Also, the child also learns hebrew vocabulary, which is great. ( unlike other programs which have menaingless long words or annoying lessons of two letter make believe words for drill purposes, which the child finds annoying and I dont blame them.)
