In 100+ schools, from Boro Park to Melbourne
הַקְּרִיאָה וְהַקְּדֻשָּׁה
From the first letter
to reading Rashi.
One Kriah curriculum, 7 levels deep. Every skill is broken into its parts, taught in order, and reviewed inside the sefer — then measured, so you know which child is stuck and exactly which skill to teach next.
Why schools change their Kriah program
Every class has a child who is quietly falling behind in Kriah. “Weak in Kriah” is not something you can teach to.
-
Teach one skill at a time
Skills are broken into their parts and introduced in order, so nothing is skipped past.
-
Measure without a specialist
Any teacher can screen a child or a class, on any day, in a few minutes.
-
Name the skill that broke
The report says silent letters, not “61%”. That is a thing you can teach.
-
Print the sheet that fixes it
Generate material for that exact skill, hand it out tomorrow, screen again after.
A complete curriculum, not a workbook
Review is embedded in the sefer itself, so there are no extra sheets to prepare — and no teacher’s manual to learn before you can start. What arrives is the whole year, already made.
- Homework books
- Workbooks
- Fluency programs
- Vacation reading programs

Know exactly where every child stands
Screen a student or a whole class, on any day. The assessment names the skill that is missing — not just a score — and the portal turns that into the sheets you hand out tomorrow morning.

| קָמָץ י בְּסוֹף מִלָּה | — | — | 85% | 92% | — | — |
Esti is not “weak in Kriah”. She has not got silent letters, and neither has Miri — which is a lesson you can plan for Sunday.

What they tell us
The methods presented have proven to be highly effective, enabling each individual child to master kriah skills and to read with confidence and fluency.
The greatest critique I received after the first year was: if my kids made so much progress in one year, why did we wait so long to update our Kriah program?
We are extremely pleased — 26 girls reading expertly and fluently. A few students whose problems would not have been easily detected were picked up by the assessments.
This sefer is a great tool to teach Kriah. It’s very child friendly, clear, and easy to use. The children are excited to open and read!
It has pre-fabbed everything — a teacher’s guide day by day, absolutely no guesswork. My own son, in first grade, loves doing his kriah homework every night.
My son didn’t know how to read Hebrew, and ended the year reading beautifully. The program created a love and excitement for kriah in our home.
Mesorah
The path was not ours to invent
Every skill, and the order they come in, follows the דקדוקי הקריאה as they have been taught. Nearly every word in the sefer is drawn from Tanach or the Siddur, so a child practises Kriah on the words they will daven and learn. Four rabbanim reviewed the sefer and certified that it does not veer from the mesorah; their haskomos, and a kuntres on what mesorah means in teaching Kriah, are here to read.
“This sefer will open the gates for our children to reach the ultimate goals of davening and learning בדרך ישראל סבא.” Mrs. Svei · Principal, Bais Yaakov of Boro Park
Questions schools ask
Who is the program for?
Anyone teaching or learning Hebrew reading — including students with disabilities. It has been used successfully with ages 4 through 75.
What makes it different from what we use now?
Each skill is taught on its own, in order, so a weaker student masters one thing before the next arrives. The assessments that come with it are simple enough for any teacher to administer.
Who administers the screening?
Teachers, assistants, even parents. No specialist is required.
When are assessments given?
On the first day of the program, and again after each skill is learned.
Is it complicated to implement?
No. The system is self-explanatory and needs no separate teacher’s manual. If the teacher is excited to teach it, the students are excited to learn it.
Why do the assessments matter so much?
They keep instruction data-driven. You always know what a child has mastered and what needs review, so no child quietly falls behind.
Will it fit our classroom?
It integrates into any classroom or resource room, and is used by teachers, tutors and parents alike.
