Hebrew Reading

Hebrew reading is an important part of a Jewish child’s daily life, both in school and beyond. When a child cannot read Hebrew fluently or accurately, they may struggle with davening, Kodesh lessons and Hebrew-based texts. As children get older, the amount of Hebrew reading increases, and difficulties can become more noticeable. For some children, so much effort goes into decoding the words that there is little energy left to understand what they are reading, especially when Hebrew is not their first language. This can affect learning, confidence and self-esteem.

Specialist Hebrew Reading Teachers

Our specialist Hebrew reading teachers support children who need help with kriah, fluency, accuracy and confidence. Early intervention is strongly recommended, as it can make remediation easier and help prevent difficulties from becoming more entrenched. Teachers use a range of methods and approaches to create a personal programme suited to the child’s needs. Sessions are delivered on a one-to-one basis or in very small groups. They are short, focused and engaging, using games, incentives and achievable targets to help children feel successful as they progress. Continuous assessment is used to track each child’s development and adjust the programme where needed, so support remains targeted and effective.
Parents trust our Hebrew reading support because it helps children build the skills they need in a calm, encouraging and structured way. We focus on helping each child master small, achievable steps, so they can grow in accuracy, fluency and confidence. As reading becomes easier, children are better able to access davening, Kodesh learning and Hebrew text with greater independence.
