A mom reported that one evening, her 4 year old loved belting out Ayn Keyloheinu throughout the day. The family attended weekly Shabbat services and so the child had learn to sing the song by heart. As a pre-reader, even in his native English, the preschooler obviously didn't learn this song by reading. He learned it by heart, storing it in memory. 

And so it is for our older students - the more they hear prayers and blessings, the more they gain the sounds of Hebrew. And the more we help them connect to prayers with their hearts, the more they connect spiritually.
