**Reminder #1: Your “Keep Track of Reading” Sheet comes home in your child’s Hebrew School book bag each week. It is crucial that your child practices his/her Hebrew reading on a daily basis. Research has shown that our Aleph students read quite fluently but begin to fall off in this skill by grade Gimel due to lack of practice.
Reminder #2: The current Bet and Gimel students will get a list of the vocabulary words they have learned this summer from the new Hebrew Language Program. This is a progressive reading series. It is imperative that the students review these words periodically over the summer in order to be prepared for the upcoming fall semester.
