The #Onward Hebrew approach is based on developing a rich Hebrew environment and working from sound-to-print (building the sounds of Hebrew before tackling print/decoding). [For a general overview of #OnwardHebrew, click here.]

Below you will find links to key resources that will provide background on Sound-to-Print learning and then explain each of the four elements of #OnwardHebrew:
  1. Hebrew Through Movement
  2. Jewish Life Vocabulary
  3. T'fillah
  4. Decoding, introduced after learners have built a repertoire of sounds
