“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.”

We have a second- grade student that we thought would never learn to Kriah. We tried everything. We came to terms that this student would just suffer through school. We used the NikudQuest program with him in our resource room and he is reading. It is unbelievable.

“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!”

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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Our students love the decodable books. Most students were previously afraid to read large paragraphs, it was too overwhelming. They often made mistakes, they were frustrated and they felt that there was no purpose to Kriah. When we started using the decodable books, the kids were excited to pick books to read everyday. They looked forward to reading and understood what they read. It was really motivating, time flew and tons of learning occurred.

I want to share some thoughts from the bottom of my heart. Not kindergarteners who mix up letters or can’t match first sounds. Not first
