The Hebrew Scouts Mission
We have seen firsthand the impact that reading fluency has on a child’s academic, spiritual, emotional, and cultural well-being, as well as the pain and struggles that come along with reading challenges. Our mission is to make Kriah more accessible, and help all children reach reading success. We want it to be super simple and easy for teachers, tutors, and parents to get it right the first time so children won’t miss out on years of proper instruction, fall behind, or need remediation. Our goal is to put this incredible tool in the hands of educators so children can be successful from when they are young, and continue to be successful in all aspects of their Jewish life. Learning Hebrew doesn’t have to be complicated or painful. With Hebrew Scouts, we’ve made it into an experience that is fun, easy, meaningful, and enjoyable.
We can’t wait to share it with all of you!
The Alef Bet Curriculum
by Hebrew Scouts
The Letter Lab curriculum sequentially and seamlessly integrates the many foundational components of Alef Bet learning. With memorable hooks, phonemic awareness, Hebrew vocabulary, handwriting and more, children will experience the pleasure of learning the Hebrew alphabet, not just as a means to Hebrew reading, but as an experience of itself.
The Hebrew Reading Curriculum by Hebrew Scouts
The NikudQuest curriculum turns learning into an exciting adventure, with a cast of characters that take the children on quests and missions to explore the wonderful world of Hebrew reading. Students explore “Kriah Kingdom” along with the characters, learning how to read and understand the Hebrew language with enjoyable and meaningful applications. The curriculum uses beautifully illustrated guidebooks, readers, games, and supplemental materials which all work hand-in-hand for a comprehensive learning experience, all in a fun, engaging way.

OUR PARTNERS ARE RAVING
As a new Hebrew intervention specialist, Nechamy's coaching was the key to my successful school year. Nechamy has a flexible coaching style, a deep understanding of the "how" of fluent reading, and the ability to explain complicated concepts in a clear fashion. After one coaching session from Nechamy, I left with knowledge, tools, and strategies to help my students crack the code to Hebrew reading. Thank you Nechamy!
We have a second-grader in our school that we thought would never learn to read. We tried everything. He’s reading now. It’s a miracle. The program really works.
Our second graders and their teachers are“ jealous” of the first graders and we now realize we need more Hebrew Scouts materials! Everyone who is using the program in our school is thrilled, impressed and learning enthusiastically!
The children in my class are thriving in kriah. They appreciate understanding what they reading. They are excited for the games, and stories that come along with it. kriah is now a subject they look forward to!
There are so many different activities to help children remember words. I am loving the flashcards. The pictures really help them with the meaning. When reading Book 1 with a Year 3 student, I was able to support to him to analyze the pictures and the words for both cow and bull. It was unbelievable how he was able to figure out the pattern for female and male word forms.
“I have been so lucky and blessed to work with Nechamy! She has transformed our team at Darchai Menachem, allowing us to better aid and teach our students on both an individual and school-wide level. We are able to see first-hand how literacy success boosts our students’ confidence and spills over into their other areas of learning.”
The NikudQuest books are transforming reading for my CHS kids. One boy said, "Finally I am reading not just random words but I am reading something that makes sense." In addition to building some knowledge of Hebrew, I can teach prefixes. The letter worklets are also amazing for children with reading challenges. It tackles each letter from so many angles! I am a big fan. If you had advanced kids who lacked motivation because reading felt meaningless, or kids who struggle, Hebrew Scouts is amazing.
The books are informative and educational! Even my kids who know all the nekudot, happily read the books.
Our team have been using the Hebrew Scouts curriculum and we're loving it! The engaging material with its beautiful presentation have the students excited to learn kriah! The inclusion of the critical component of reading comprehension in this curriculum is helping the students connect to the text in meaningful and practical ways. The boys are excited to read from the readers. The card games are making Kriah class fun! We are so grateful to have found this curriculum and are looking forward to seeing its continued success.
My son will literally cry if I don't do Kriyah with him every day because he loves it so much. It's amazing what he can do and what he knows.
The Kindergarten kids are doing really well with the NikudQuest. They truly love it and it's making a big difference.
I highly recommended! These materials make our students so happy and give them a sense of accomplishment and confidence in their Hebrew reading skills.
Nechamy is a master educator.
We love the Hebrew Scouts curriculum!! My students who already mastered reading still love the language building skills! They are just six and already making Ivrit sentence. Parents are amazed and I am blown away!! They have so many verbs, nouns and adjectives in their word banks...and we only finished kamatz. I cannot wait to start the next book ...and I highly recommend the readers...they are wonderful.
