Ivrit b’Ivrit - Learning Hebrew

Moms read 3 stories in Hebrew each week. (You don’t need to know Hebrew, but need to know we will be speaking in Hebrew.) Books are for pre-school age, 10-12 pages. 

Meets in Carmel Valley the 2nd and 4th Wednesday each month at 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm.  Descriptions of the books are e-mailed so English speakers can prepare their children.  English speakers can expect to pick up a few Hebrew words each time.  Books will be read again in subsequent meetings for repetition. 

Includes songs and a coloring/sticker project as well.  Use the link to join the Yahoo group for meeting times and reminders of the books.

This is the classic "Barnes & Noble" like bookstore in Israel.  There is a branch in the US and you can order online from them.  They seem to be generally higher priced than Sifrutake where I do most of my shopping.  But, its another option for books, CDs, DVDs and the like.

For most books they do provide the cover image and then a page that you can read to get a sense of the book.  I really like that - as otherwise you’re really guessing if the book is age appropriate or fun.  

This site on the whole has religious texts, religious topics, etc.  So, it wouldn’t be my first choice for secular hebrew books.  But, there are some good choices here so I’ll list the pages that are relevant. 

There are some good selections of Dr. Seuss in Ivrit here: http://www.nehora.com/category.cfm?Category=81

Bugs Bunny and Friends in Ivrit: http://www.nehora.com/category.cfm?Category=108 

 

This site has a variety of materials that programs might purchase for use to teach Ivrit. This is worth looking at if you are trying to either teach from home or supplement.

I liked the Ot La -Ba Ot workbook for example: http://www.torahaura.com/Hebrew/Ot_la-Ba_Ot/ot_la-ba_ot.htm
