Aleph Champ provides your child the opportunity to learn and master Lashon Hakodesh, the Holy Tongue. The language created by G‑d, the language of the Torah and our Prayers, the language that unites us as a people through all time and space. Congratulations for bringing your child to master this skill! It is a priceless gift!
Aleph Champ, modeled after the Karate Martial Arts system of motivational colored levels, breaks up the Hebrew reading process into bite sized motivational levels which makes it more kid friendly and exciting.
Students start as a white Aleph Champ learning half of the aleph bet. They work their way through the different "belts" until they become a black Aleph Champ with the ability to read fluently from the Siddur (prayerbook).
Each Aleph Champ level has a color coded book, flashcards, workbooks and a medallion which is awarded once a level is passed. All of these work together to create the motivation needed to progress in their own way.
Reading groups are divided by color instead of age group, thereby allowing conscientious students to surpass the pace of their class and advance in reading on their own. This program ensures that students do not go on to a new level until they have truly mastered all that their current level expects them to know. This avoids the common problem of children learning to read without fully mastering a letter, vowel or concept in reading.
We recognize the fact that each child learns in a unique way and present the Aleph bet and nekudot (vowels) with various methods for learning. With the help of our madrichim (teacher assistants) and the tools in the amazing ALEPH CHAMP program each child progresses to the next level when they are ready. With each color / level mastered they earn a medallion and a champ title!
