The teacher's guide to Shalom Ivrit Book 1

Your students can already decode Hebrew words. Now they're ready to learn to read and understand modern Hebrew using Shalom Ivrit 1!

The first book in a three-year series, Shalom Ivrit 1 is built on the theme of the Jewish holidays. Students encounter Hebrew as a living language by building on their everyday and holiday experiences, at home and in school. Two endearing and humorous characters - Bar the Mouse and Malmalah the Ant - help teach 160 key words and an additional 90 holiday and enrichment words, as well as comprehension and language skills. Students read about such familiar activities as eating honey on Rosh Hashanah, lighting candles on Shabbat and Hanukkah, dressing in costume on Purim, meeting a new teacher, and learning in school. Basic grammar - including the present tense, masculine and feminine nouns, and adjectives in the singular and plural - are presented simply and clearly.
