THE MESORAHLashon HaKodesh, or Biblical Hebrew, is a language and alphabet that isDivinely created. The Torah was written with the letters of the Aleph Bet andthe entire universe was created with Ten Utterances using the same holyletters.
Teaching a child how to read Hebrew is a holytask. Teaching a student the Aleph Bet will serveas a foundation for life, spiritually affectinghis/her soul and belief in G-d. The LubavitcherRebbe writes: “I had pleasure reading… that youteach your class according to the Mesorah ofour holy ancestors, Komatz Aleph Uh.Concerning the holiness of the Aleph Beis letters and the Nekudos, it isknown that they originate from Moshe Rabbeinu who received it fromHashem at Har Sinai. This is known and obvious in the Zohar and in Tikkunei-Zohar. And not only the letters and Nekudos themselves, but also theirnames. It is written in the above places that the names of the Nekudos areactually the acronym of the names of Malochim, etc."
The Aleph Champ Program is based on the Chabad Mesorah, or tradition.First the letters and their names are introduced. Only after is the child taughtthe Nekudot (vowels) and how to combine them with the letters to makesounds.

ALEPH CHAMP THEORYDeveloped after the karate motivational system of colors and levels
The Aleph Champ Program is a brainstorm idea developed after the karatemotivational system of colors and levels. The entire Kriah system is dividedinto levels of different colors. This arrangement ensures that students learn toread Hebrew in an efficient, well-organized method. Aleph Champ takes a lotof groundwork; the program will not run on its own, but the results aretremendous and well worth the effort.
In the Aleph Champ Program, readinggroups are divided by color instead ofage group, thereby allowingconscientious students to surpass thepace of their class and advance inreading on their own.
When a student steps into a karate class,it is very clear what level everyone is on.The teacher is a Black Belt. Somestudents who have been studying foryears are Purple or even Brown Belts.Beginners wear White Belts and there is aplethora of other colored belts. The requirements necessary to advance fromlevel to level is clearly delineated and the reward is merely the change in beltcolor, a change in status.
When a student steps into an Aleph Champ room, it is very clear what leveleveryone is on. The teacher is a Black Champ, wearing a Black Medal.Beginner students are wearing White or Red Medals and advanced studentsare wearing Purple or even Brown Medals.
Aleph Champ ensures that students do not go on to a new level until theyhave truly mastered all that their current level expects them to know. Thisavoids the common problem of children learning to read without fullymastering a letter, vowel or concept in reading.
Learning to read is brokendown into manageable goalswhere students can clearlygauge their progress. Everycolor mastered gives studentsthe confidence to keep ongoing. I have never seen aprogram motivate childrenwhere success was theirreward until Aleph Champ!- An Aleph Champ Director

UNDERSTANDING LEVELS
It can take 1-5 months for students to pass most levels. The stripes create goals within one level. Be sure not to rush students or pass them to the next level before they are ready!

HOW IT WORKSWho is it for?Aleph Champ was originally created to be used within the Hebrew Schoolframework where students learn Hebrew once a week. Today, Aleph Champ is used within many teaching settings, such as at home,in day schools, and as part of adult classes. The program is geared for grades 1 and above. Allow students below grade 1to learn the Aleph Bet letters in a relaxed, story-based setting using hands-onmaterials, puppets and scrapbooks. When these younger students reachAleph Champ age, the first 2 levels of White and Red will be a mere review ofthe Aleph Bet.
How long is an Aleph Champ lesson?The suggested Aleph Champ lesson is 45 minutes since a half hour can betoo short and one hour can be too long.
The 45 minute lessons go by very quickly when following our suggestedschedule. See Daily Schedule on page 9
How do I set up the classroom?The ideal way to run Aleph Champ is to have one Aleph Champ Room whereall students study at the same time. This adds excitement and fun.Each level within Aleph Champ has its own table. Each level has its ownteacher and is run like a mini class, following the daily schedule. Havingenough staff is crucial. A manageable group size is 8 students per teacher,with an assistant. If you don’t have enough teachers, call on parents, HebrewSchool alumni, and volunteers to help out. A successful Aleph Champ needs
enough staff to go around.
Each level has its own color coded bin/containerwith all the material needed. See Materials on page 19
If you don’t have space for an Aleph Champ Room,each teacher may teach Aleph Champ individuallyin their own classroom. The challenge is that whilein the Aleph Champ Room your students would splitaccording to level, here you will have students onmultiple levels within one class, and you will have tojuggle.
The ideal way torun Aleph Champis to have one Aleph Champ Room where all students study at the same time.

Staffבס”דAleph Champ runs successfully when there is enoughstaff. Groups should be kept small and should notexceed more than 8 students per teacher. As Aleph Champ teachers, it is important tounderstand the overall method of Aleph Champ and befamiliar with the ‘rules’ before teaching.There is more to Aleph Champ than just reading andwriting exercises. It is the details and - believe it or not- the rules and guidelines that make the program exciting. Be sure to train with your head teacher at the beginning of the year and givethought and prepare your lessons throughout the year for you to see results!
DisciplineBehavioral problems are unacceptable in the Aleph Champ Room. Truth be told, the schedule is so tight it leaves little room for students tomisbehave. A common reason for behavioral issues is that the student isexperiencing difficulty in reading or is too advanced for the group and doesnot feel challenged. Try to assess the issue yourself before bringing it to the attention of head teacher or contacting the parents.
HomeworkHomework has become fun!This year, for the first time ever, your students can practice and continue tolearn Hebrew reading by logging on to our brand new, award winning AlephChamp Kids website and enjoying an Aleph Champ wonderland.Review games, audio reading practice, and interactive, graded activities areall a click away, and you, as the teacher, can track it all!There is an annual membership fee per child. Website registration opens in Elul, 5774/September 2014. Stay tuned!
Another homework option is the Aleph Champ Almanac. The Almanac is agreat way for students to practice Hebrew reading at home. It is one smallreader with review reading pages for levels White through Blue. Each student can receive an Almanac at the beginning of the year and keep itat home.
Since not all parents are able to help their children with Hebrew reading, andvery often the students become more advanced than their parents, it issuggested to send home an Aleph Bet & Vowel Chart for parents to use a‘cheat sheet.’
You can neverhave too muchstaff in an AlephChamp Room

HEAD TEACHERAssign one 'head teacher' to be in charge of the Aleph Champ room. Thiscould be your school's director, a specifically hired teacher, or parent.
This head teacher should teach one of the groups but is also responsible forthe general upkeep of the room, overseeing the progress that each student ismaking and keeping an eye on teacher/student relationships.
The head teacher should compile a list of all the students in Aleph Champand their Hebrew reading levels. Once this list is created, students can thenbe divided into an Aleph Champ group and assigned a teacher. There are 9Aleph Champ groups corresponding to the karate color-coded levels.Group 1 is White, Group 2 is Red, etc. If you have enough staff, then assign one teacher per level and you are goodto go. If you are tight on teachers, then you may have to combine levels. Forexample, if there are 2 students on Yellow and 3 on Green, they may have toshare a table and teacher. If there are 15 students on Orange level, half onStripe 1, the other half on Stripe 2 and Stripe 3, you may split them into twogroups. Every situation is unique.
Because students are moving from level to level as the months go by, there isa constant need to oversee the group divisions. Your groups may begin theyear with a low teacher to student ratio, but as students pass and move fromlevel to level, one teacher may be left with 2 students while another now has11 on their hands! Every few weeks this needs to be assessed and thenmodified accordingly. This could mean rotating staff between the groups andredividing as necessary.
Meeting with teachers on a regular basis ensures that students are being keptmotivated and allows teachers to share any challenges they may be facing,such as students who may require more assistance.
Head teachers are the ones to prints all files and sheets that teachers willneed during Aleph Champ. Bookmarks need to be printed on coloredcardstock and cut, Warmups and Tester sheets need to be photcopied, etc.
The head teacher should keep all completed bookmarks and log whichstudents passed which levels each week. This will be helpful when preparingfor an Aleph Champ Award Ceremony when you will need to determine astudent’s progress over the course of a few months.

DAILY SCHEDULEFollow the daily schedule with all levels so that your students get into aroutine and know what to expect from the minute they walk into the AlephChamp room till they leave 45 minutes later. Remember, it’s all aboutrepetition and discipline.
WarmupsLike in karate, first you gotta warm up before learning the new stuff!Warmup sheets are used at the beginning of each Aleph Champ lesson as areview of previously learned material. Every student receives a warmup sheetthat is appropriate to their level and stripe. Students know that the first fiveminutes of Aleph Champ is review time.
Don’t skip the Warmups! You would be surprised to find how a Brown AlephChamp can forget the names of some of the Aleph Bet letters.Time the 5 minutes of review so that students know it’s really 5 minutes. Walkaround and listen or answer questions as students review.
ReadingStudents read independently from their Reader in an undertone as you walkaround the table. Keep in mind that your students within one level are not allholding at the same place. They may all be on different page in their reader.
Reading time is your opportunity to give instruction to the students, one onone. On White level you may introduce a new letter to a student, on Yellow,teach a new vowel, on Blue, explain a new exception. This is your time toteach new information. If two students are holding at the same place, thenmaximize your time and teach them together!
This is also your chance to listen to each student read. You don’t have enoughtime to listen to students read an entire page, so you will have to use yourjudgement and sign the student’s bookmark when you get a sense that theyare ready to move to the next page. It could be after hearing a line or two.There are not enough weeks of Hebrew School for your student to read everypage of the Reader. You will have to use your judgement!
When reading is complete, be sure to sign the date on students’ bookmarkswith your red pen.
Page 10
בס”ד
ChavrusaEach Aleph Champ lesson should have ten minutes of Chavrusa time.Working in pairs, students review using various learning materials such asFlashcards and mats, Half ‘n Half sheets, and Readers and timers. (See Additional Materials on page 21 for further explanation.)
During Chavrusa time, walk around and oversee that students are reviewingand are focused.
WorkbookEach level of Aleph Champ has its own Workbook with level-appropriatepractice. As students independantly complete pages in their Workbooks, youshould constantly check their work. Warning: Don’t let students completepage after page incorrectly as they race through the Workbook, excited topass. Be on top of their work and make corrections if need be.
When a page is completed properly, be sure to sign the date on theirbookmarks with your red pen!
GameUsing games to review during the last ten minutes of Aleph Champ keepsthings fun. This can be a time to have students move around, laugh, and winprizes. Don’t skip the game!
Keep an eye on the clock so that your group, and subsequently all of theother groups in the Aleph Champ Room, end on time.See Games on page 23 for a list of suggested games and instructions

WHAT ARE STRIPES?Stripes keep students motivated in the long haul from one level to the next. The excitement of receiving a stripe keeps up the Aleph Champ momentum.Each level is divided into 3 sub-levels.
For example, Sammy just started Orange level. He is on Orange Stripe 1. A piece of tape on his Orange Medallion indicates his status.When Sammy completes 1/3 of the level, he begins Orange Stripe 2. Asecond piece of tape is added to his Medallion necklace.
When 2/3 through, Sammy begins the last stretch,Orange Stripe 3, and is now wearing a Medallion with3 stripes.
The exact breakup of all stripes within a level isclearly outlined on the bookmarks and marked onthe bottom of the Reader pages. Do not ignore thestripes! When a student passes a stripe, it should be
like a mini version of passing a level! Congratulate those students, apply thenew piece of tape with fanfare, and maybe give a special treat, like a sugar-free colored ice pop.
Notice the Aleph Champ Map on the first page of each level’s workbook. Usecolored stickers to mark a student’s progress as they travel along the map.You can come up with many additional ways to highlight the stripe system.Don’t hesitate to be creative and implement your own systems.
Each level is divided into 3 sub-levels.
Do not ignore the stripes!

BOOKMARKSPhotocopy the bookmark template pages ontowhite, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, andbrown colored cardstock and cut. These will serve as bookmarks for the children and apage memory for the teachers.
The student’s name goes on the line provided.
When a child completes a page in the Reader orWorkbook, use a red pen to sign the date, markingwhen the page was completed. 10/29 (rather thanOctober 29,) is your best format to fit the date inthe little circles provided. Use a red pen to sign the date to prevent fraudulentsignatures.
All bookmarks are collected at the end of the lessonand kept in your level’s bin or binder.
The bookmarks can also be used as a pointer for thereaders during class.

TESTINGYour student completed his Workbook and Reader, and has his bookmark allfilled out to show it's legit. You listen to your student read the last page in theReader, titled 'Prepare to Pass.' If it is read with no more than 2 mistakes, (inthe timeframe allotted for Purple levels and above,) then the student is readyto be tested.
Testing time is during the last 15 minutes of Aleph Champ. This way studentshave time to practice beforehand and once they pass they can begin theirnew level the following week with a fresh start.
Assign an official “Aleph Champ Tester” like your Rabbi, director or headteacher. There needs to be a designated Tester and it should not be a teachersince teachers will be busy with their own groups.
Testers use the Testing Sheets to assessstudents. Students who successfully pass thetest are congratulated and applauded! Theycan return their Reader to the material's bin,hand their bookmark to their teacher, andbring their completed Workbook andMedallion home. The following week theymove to the next level, (table,) and receivetheir new Reader, Workbook, bookmark, andMedallion.
The Tester should announce that week’spassing champs to the entire Aleph Champ room at the end of Aleph Champ.Use a fun sound or ringtone from your phone to make the exciting weeklyannouncement. Flicker the lights, drum-roll, play it up!
Students should feel that testing is a serious thing and they should only betested when they feel confident that they are ready to pass. Testers should not be lenient when testing students! Passing students beforethey are ready will only harm their progress, not benefit it.
Parent's love to hear feedback. Let them know by pickup time how proud youare that their child passed a level in Aleph Champ. Drop them an email. It willgo a long way.
Ensure that studentsknow what they need to do in order to
pass BEFORE the test. Give them the tools to test themselvesand practice so theythemselves know they are ready

PRESENTATIONThe way you present Aleph Champ to your school is the way the students willreact.
One of the key focuses of the Aleph Champ Program is to make it childfriendly. Each student should be excited and eager to learn to read. At the same time, students need to realize that just like in karate, this is adisciplined, professional program. It is up to the director and teachers topresent it in such a manner.
Beginning of the year assembly:It is crucial to have an assembly at the beginning of the year that explains theway the program will be run. Ask a local karate instructor to come in and share with the students the basicdisciplines of karate, like discipline and practice.If possible, a student that has already mastered a few levels of Aleph Champshould come up and read a few lines to the audience to excite the otherstudents and show them that the goal is attainable!
Display:In order to present Aleph Champ as a competitive karate-style program, besure to set the room up properly for the first assembly. A table should be set up with all the colored Readers, Workbooks, Medallionsand any Aleph Champ paraphernalia that you have. The Aleph Champ poster should be hanging for the children to see.
Parents:Send a letter to the parents (see page 26) explaining the program. If you are meeting with parents at the beginning of the school year, showthem Aleph Champ up close and explain to them how it works.Explain the near impossibility of a child learning to read Hebrew on a once aweek basis without at home involvement and encouragement.
For those schools that have used Aleph Champ in the past, be sure to giveyour students 2-3 weeks to brush up on their Hebrew skills after the longsummer break. A Yellow Champ may need to review her letters. That’s okay.No one should be ‘demoted.’ That is an awful feeling. Give time for review andonly then assess.

AWARD CEREMONYAward Ceremonies are a great way to involve parents in the successes oftheir children. They can be done yearly or bi- yearly, possibly in conjunctionwith a Chanukah party or end of year party.
At an Aleph Champ Award Ceremony, students are called up on stage andare presented with an award for the levels they passed. This is done level bylevel so that eventually you call up all the White Champs, Red Champs,Orange Champs, etc.
For students that did not pass a level, present them with a certificate for theprogress they've made within a level. (Stripes!) This way, all students arerecognized and congratulated.
Sample Aleph Champ Award Ceremony:Figure out which students have graduated from one level to the next sincethe beginning of the year or the last ceremony. A few weeks before the ceremony, send out a school e-mail inviting theparents and families of your students to come. Make an award certificate for every student. You may purchase differentcolored candies and prizes appropriate for each color. Begin with the lowest level. Call up students who passed the White Level oneat a time. Each child gets their “White” certificate and prize and remainsstanding until all of the new White Champs have come up. Take a grouppicture, send the students to their seats, and continue with the next group.
Aleph Champ Award Ceremony Check List:While the following are not necessities to the ceremony, they definitelyenhance the excitement and atmosphere of this special event. When students see a fancy and well-coordinated assembly prepared they feelthat they have accomplished something great and become excited tocontinue succeeding. Feel free to set a display table with samples of Aleph Champ material forparents to view.
1. Certificates photocopied onto colored paper, cut and personalized2. Colored candies corresponding to the Aleph Champ levels (Laffy Taffies) 3. Colored prizes (Oriental Trading Co. has plenty of choices)4. Colored balloons5. Trophies, buttons, ribbons, crowns, bracelets... Use your imagination.

MATERIALSSpend time in the beginning of the year organizing your Aleph Champ Room.Things can get hectic and it's important to know where everything can befound. Here is what you will need:
Readers:After all, we are a Hebrew reading program!Each level of Aleph Champ has its own Reader with level-appropriate readingpractice. There should be enough Readers for each student to have their own. Readers should not be written in or taken home, and can therefore pass fromone student to the next.
Workbooks:Work sheets that are fun and motivate students to progressEach level of Aleph Champ has its own Workbook with level-appropriatepractice. In the Workbooks, students are required to recognize, name, andeven draw the letters and words that they are learning in the Readers. Each student receives their own Workbook as they begin a new level.
Bookmarks:"What page am I on?" Students & teachers can keep trackEach student receives their own bookmark as they begin a new level.Upon completion of each page in the Reader and Workbook, sign the datewith a red pen on the corresponding space on the bookmark.By signing the date, the bookmark becomes an efficient way to track yourstudent's progress at a glance. Print bookmarks on colored card stock to match the level it represents.
Flashcards: A learning tool that can be used as review and when playing gamesEach level of Aleph Champ has its own set of level-appropriate, reviewflashcards. Levels White and Red use Aleph Bet Flashchards while Orangeand above use word flashcards.
It is your job as the teacher to keep the flashcards organized and make surethat they are all returned at the end of a lesson. Use thick rubber bands tokeep them tidy or purchase colored index card cases to store them.
Page 20
בס”ד
Medallions & Tape:Like karate belts, medals are a symbol of status in the ever-evolving systemEach student receives their own medal as they begin a new level. Studentswear their Medallion with pride during Aleph Champ. Teachers can wear themtoo!Medallions are used to showcase what stripe a student is on by using piecesof tape wrapped around the necklace. There are 3 stripes within each level, soat any given time, a student will have 1, 2, or 3 'stripes' on their Medallionnecklace. Medals should be kept at school and not be taken home until a studentpasses that level. Using a sharpie, write students’ names on the back of themedals to keep things organized.
Timers:Let's see how fluent you are… now let's practice and beat that time!Timers can be used for all levels to motivate students and to guage fluency. Some students are intimidated by the timers, so use your judgment. On levels Purple and above, the timer becomes very important since studentsare required to read a specific amount of words per minute or WPM.At that level, each student should have their own timer to use during readingtime.
Your smartphone’s stopwatch could make a good timer. Other optionsinclude purchasing timers for your students at www.Lakeshorelearning.com.
Script Workbooks:Advanced Champs get to dabble with writing!The script Workbooks are only introduced on the Brown and Grey levels,adding a fresh element to the Aleph Champ lesson. Following the order of the Aleph Bet, students practice fun pages andmatching worksheets to encourage familiarity with the script letters.

ADDITIONAL MATERIALWarmup Sheets:Like in karate, first you gotta warm up before learning the new stuff!Warmup sheets are used at the beginning of each Aleph Champ lesson as areview of previously learned material. Every student receives a warmup sheet that is appropriate to their level andstripe. Students know that the first five minutes of Aleph Champ is reviewtime.
Tester Sheets: Used by the Aleph Champ TesterHas your student completed their Reader and Workbook? Are all pages signed on their bookmark? Let the testing begin!This page is a short but focused summary of all the information a student isexpected to know when passing a level. There is a tester sheet for each level.
Flashcard Mats:An accessory to the flashcardsThe mat allows students to sort the flashcards by which ones they readcorrectly and which ones were unfamiliar or read incorrectly.Print Flashcard Mats on card stock for interactive flashcard review. Laminatethem so they last.
Half N Half Sheets:Print out Half ‘n Half pages to be used as review or during Chavrusa time.There are two columns with identical words, one with nikud, one without.Students fold the page in half so they can’t see the words with the nikud.The teacher reads the words aloud while students fill in the correct vowel.Afterwards, students check their work for accuracy by simply unfolding thepage.
Teacher's Binders:Instant filing made easyPurchase nine 3-ring binders with the clear slip front covers. Copy Template 1(page 25) onto white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown and greypapers. Slip one into each folder. You now have a binder for each level. Use this binder to keep your students’Aleph Champ material organized. Students’ bookmarks, Warmup Sheets, andMedallions are to be filed away each week in your binder.
Page 22
בס”ד
Colored Tablecloths:An easy detail with a big impactUse colored plastic tablecloths on your tables to easily differentiate betweenlevels and create an instant Aleph Champ feel in your room. Anyone walkinginto your Aleph Champ room will be impressed by your rainbow of tables.
Colored Bins:Where does this Red Reader belong? In the red bin!Organization is key. Each level should have their own bin/shelf/drawer/box tostore their material. Try to keep nothing loose in your bin. Everything shouldhave a place. Pencils in the ‘red’ pencil case. Flashcars in the ‘red’ index cardfiling boxes. Red Medallions are collected and stored in a ‘red’ filing pouch.Check out Oriental Trading or The Container Store for a whole bunch of fun,color-coded options.
Aleph Champ PosterHang it up! Show it off!Aleph Champ Posters add color and excitement to the walls of your AlephChamp Room. They also outline the levels in a clear way so anyone can seethe order of levels at a glance.
White Boards:Each student can practice on their own!Have miniature whiteboards and dry erase markers on hand for teachers touse. It is a great tool to teach, review, and use when playing games. (LikeAleph Champ tic-tac-toe, for example.) Dry erase boards can be purchased in packs of 10 from Amazon.com,DiscountSchoolSupplies.com, or OrientalTrading.com.
Pencils, Pencil Cases, Sharpeners, Red PensLast but not least!Students need pencils to write. Teacher's need red pens to sign thebookmarks. Don't forget: Use the colors of the Aleph Champ levels to guideyou as you purchase your supplies. It reinforces the levels, makes it easy toclean up, and adds some fun.
Almanacs and Aleph Bet & Vowel ChartsTo send and keep at home for a homework optionThe Almanac is a condensed reader of 72 pages. It includes the 6 levels ofWhite through Blue for home review. The chart is a ‘cheat sheet’ for parents.

GAMESYou want your students to look forward to Aleph Champ. Pouring overdifficult reading and writing assignments won’t help your cause. A fun game,on the other hand, will. Don’t skip the game part of Aleph Champ. Ever.
Suggestion: Choose one game to play for 3 weeks at a time. The first week,introduce the game and practice. The second week, enjoy playing. The thirdweek, make some sort of competition/reward finale. Then introduce the nextgame. If students don't seem to be enjoying the game, feel free to cut it shortafter one or two weeks. On the other hand, if one game goes over very well,play it again in the future. Every class is different. Play it by ear and have fun.
Here are some game ideas: Around the WorldStudents sit in their seats. The first student to play stands near the studentsitting next to them. Show them a flashcard. The first student to blurt out theletter/word properly moves to the next chair and the other student sits downin the chair. When a student travels around the ‘world’ and reaches theiroriginal seat, they become the winner!
KabooseStudents line up in 2 lines. You hold up a flashcard. The first student to readthe letter/word correctly moves to the back of the line, becoming thecaboose of the train. When a student who started out as the first comes backto the head of the line, that team wins!Alternate: If you have a student who will do poorly with being timed, you canplay this without speed. One team is given a word to read at a time. If the oneteam reads it, that student goes to the back. Otherwise it’s deferred to theother team. If the other team gets it right, they also get the next card.
English Sound MatchGive out the entire set of Alef Bet Flashcards to your group so that each childhas the same amount of cards. Use picture cards or draw pictures and holdthem up to the students. Students look through their cards and see if theyhave a letter that matches the sound that the picture begins with. They haveto say the name and sound of the letter and give their flashcard to theteacher. More than one child can have the same letter. The goal is for thechildren to get rid of all their cards.

Tic-Tac-ToeDraw a tic-tac-toe chart on your dry erase board. Divide the class in 2 teams.Each team goes one at a time, trying to read the flashcard word/letter thatyou hold up. If the child reads it correctly they get to come up and draw an Oor X on the board. Play until a team wins a row of 3.Alternate: To make it harder, instead of having the students read oneletter/word, roll a dice and depending on the number on the dice, that’s howmany letters/words they need to read.
Aleph Bet BaseballDraw a baseball diamond with 4 bases on your dry erase board. Divide theclass in two. Each team goes one at a time, trying to read the flashcardword/letter that you hold up. Every letter/word that the team reads is a basehit. Draw a marker on the base the team is on. Every plate is worth a point.When they make it to home plate, the team gets 5 team points! The teamwith the most points wins.
OopsThe teacher holds a set of Aleph Bet Flashcards. One at a time, the cards arelaid on the table for everyone to see as the teacher says the name of theletter. Every so often the teacher reads the flaschard incorrectly. The firststudent to catch the mistake, bangs on the table and says the correct letterfor a point. If two students bang at the same time, they say the correctletter/word and that card goes into a bonus pile. The next winner gets thepoints for the cards in the bonus pile as well. You can have a student playteacher.A similar idea: Everybody starts out on the same page of their Aleph ChampReader, and you, the teacher, begins reading. If you read the word correctly,students echo you and repeat the word. If you read the word incorrectly,students remain silent. A student must follow along or...oops!Once the students catch on and are bright enough to play ‘teacher’ they takethe role.
BingoBingo boards are a great way to review letters and their names. Print onwhite and red cardstock and have on hand in the Aleph Champ room. Use can use chocolate chips as pieces for a yummy twist.
Eye ChartsTest for good eye sight while reviewing the basics. For levels White-Green.Stick it up on the wall and use tape on the floor to mark the 10’ line.Have students line up and read covering one eye, adding twists as you see fit.
