Description
Hebrew alphabet flash cards are a stand-alone item, but work in harmony with the Jonah Project, a curriculum to teach students how to read the book of Jonah in the original Hebrew.
Every item in the Jonah Project moves the student in one direction: toward reading the book of Jonah in the original Hebrew. Every child is familiar with the Jonah story, so starting begins without resistance, rather, the student is drawn out by their curiosity. The book of Jonah is one of the shortest books in the Bible. It’s not controversial, complicated, or boring. The Jonah Kit leads with that small step that won’t frighten or intimidate your student by sticking with the smallest steps that produces the biggest results.
Our method is best described as: accidental Hebrew for Christians, because most of the mental exercises are about stretching the boundaries of learning. Follow the steps and reading Hebrew simply happens. Isn’t that how young children in Israel learn to speak Hebrew? No one forces them. Hebrew is the holy language. You’re hardwired for it. Hebrew (unlike other languages) just makes sense.
The Jonah Kit was inspired by the natural desire for play: Memorization: students test each other by guessing 22 Hebrew letters—the same 22 Hebrew letters that compose the book of Jonah. Peer reinforcement almost eliminates the need for adult supervision. Tacticle: students quiz each other by playing flash card games. The question is on the front of the card, with the answer on the back. Winner keeps all the cards correctly answered, tester (fellow student) keeps all the cards answered incorrectly. Who has the most cards?
All cards are thermographed (raised lettering), thus contributing to the “tactile” experience. Passive Learning: The student can, at their leisure, compare the letters on cards to the actual Jonah text. Without realizing, the student is learning Hebrew subliminally. Personal Interaction: Children need human interaction. That explains why computer-driven lessons fail. A human teacher affirms, guides, and discusses every letter in the book of Jonah.
A complete 4-page curriculum (or schedule) is enclosed in every box. Simple instructions, discussing how to use each item, in what order, on what day, and for how long. REQUIRES NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE HEBREW LANGUAGE.
Features
* Over 35 cards (including the 22 Hebrew letters) taken from one of the shortest books in the Bible—Jonah
* Hebrew letter is on the front side of the card. On the back side the teacher has four vital answers: 1) Upper left corner has the number value of the letter (if teacher deems it important). 2) Upper right corner has the core Hebrew meaning (if teacher deems it important). 3) The center has the pronunciation of the Hebrew letter. 4) Lower center has the casual Hebrew script common in Hebrew handwriting (if teacher deems it important).
* All flash cards are designed specifically for the Jonah Project, which introduces students to the Hebrew found in the book of Jonah.
* All flash cards convert into a classroom game (who needs a teacher!).
* All flash cards are designed to be used in two ways: 1) Read and enjoyed by the student—without a teacher. 2) Taught with an instructor, who can use cards as a daily classroom lesson (because, ultimately, a student needs a teacher).
* Designed for Christian parents looking for curriculum to develop leadership skills for Christian highschool students.
