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! Thank you for such a great program!

I highly recommend הקריאה והקדושה to anyone looking to teach Kriah in the most profound and enjoyable way. The program is built 100% on the principles of mesorah, ensuring a timeless and authentic approach to learning.
One of its greatest strengths is its ability to support weaker students in building a strong foundation, mastering every skill before advancing. At the same time, it remains highly engaging for more advanced students, catering to all levels effectively.
The teacher’s guide is exceptionally clear and provides a well-structured plan for every class.
The flashcards are an excellent tool for practice, and the smart tests offer valuable insights into each student’s progress, helping teachers target individual needs with precision.
The data system is an essential tool for teachers, administrators, and parents, providing clear insights and fostering effective collaboration to support each student’s success.
Tova’s ongoing support and encouragement are truly remarkable. I look forward to the AMA sessions every week, where I gain new insights and receive answers to all my questions. Tova is a joy to work with, and her dedication shines through every aspect of this program.
I couldn’t be happier teaching Kriah now!

I have had the privilege of working with Hakriah Vehakedusha for several years, and Boruch Hashem, I’ve seen tremendous success!

Not only is the kriyah sefer beautifully and clearly laid out, but the entire program is comprehensive and thorough. From the homework pages and vacation packets to the flashcards and Smart Tests, the program can be tailored to suit students of all levels — from the strongest to the weakest, and everyone in between.

This alone would be amazing, but there’s more — I also have the incredible support of Tova! Never has there been a more passionate cheerleader and devoted supporter. Tova stands behind me every step of the way, ensuring both my students and I have everything we need to succeed. She is consistently available via email and through the AMA classes almost every week, always offering her help and encouragement. If a suggestion arises that could enhance the program, you can count on it being implemented right away.

Thank you, Tova, and to everyone who has contributed to making this program what it is. Kriah has truly become my favorite part of the day!

With gratitude,

A well- structured and clear curriculum, the Kriah Program is a teacher’s dream come true. Skills are developed one at a time, and review is incorporated as it advances to new concepts. The layout is neat and self-explanatory, making it easy for the students to focus. A special part of the curriculum is the director’s availability to answer questions and work with the teacher who is using the book.
The Aleph Bet cards are special bonus and are a visual to hang in the classroom and use when teaching the letters. I feel blessed to have discovered Alephbeis and to have used it to teach children one of the most important things they will learn in their lives, the gift of reading Hebrew!

It epitomizes the חז”ל חנוך לנער על פי דרכו .It was a נחת to watch each student develop a fluent  and accurate  קריאה with confidence and without hesitation.
May you continue to have הצלחה רבה in your vital role of מלאכת הקודש.

Dear Tova,
I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to you for the energy you put in to create the most outstanding kriah book available “al pi taharas hakodesh” KRIAH VKEDUSHA.
I have used several wonderful approaches to kriah in my years of teaching.  Your book has so many qualities that make kriah in the classroom an excitement, an ease.  Most of all it  teaches a correct and clear kriah. Students who learn to read through your method develop into fluent readers  without hesitation.  You blend in all the rules with such clarity. The pages, the large print, the numbers for each line. I am so grateful to you, your zechusim are many. You have a hand in the most valuable part of chinuch for every child. After  all the Siddur, the kriah, is our constant connection to Our Source.
Thank you ever so much for the huge part you have in the  classrooms of all those that are aware of and use your book.
Mrs. Nechama Bender
First GradeTeacher, Bais Yaakov of Boro Park

After working first hand with the creator of this amazing program, not only can I vouch for this program, but I can rave about it too! It’s hard to pin down what I love most about this program, but described in a word, it is successful. The children who enter this program, even weaker students, come out learning to read fluently.
The students using this program came out learning to read, and aside for mastering the skills, they were also were able to read at a fluent pace too. To see a child go from basically knowing the Alef Beis to being able to pick up a Siddur and fluently read the words is amazing. Simply outstanding!

What I admire most about the Sefer is that it breaks down each skill by section, and has an assessment test after each section to make sure the student is up to par with every new skill. A teacher can easily detect where their student is struggling based on the results of the test! Also, the Assessment test comes with an Assessment Calculator which shows how each child preforms in Accuracy and in Fluency. It is easy to see if a child is lacking in an area, as the Assessment Calculator highlights the Mistake Total or Timing Score that is concerning, showing more than just a test score.

The Program is OUTSTANDING! I highly recommend it to anyone. whether they want it to teach in a classroom setting, or for individual use. The creators of this program are fantastic, kind, and caring people that are solely devoted in making sure that each student is able to succeed!

The Alephbeis app is a prime example of using technology in the correct way. The assessments and teacher/ parent reports that are available on the app are highly proffessional, bringing full transparency to our classrooms. The amount of resources that are available is astounding and it’s all easy to use. Our school has gained and benefitted a tremendous amount. Everything on the app is thoroughly researched with the highest standards of emes and mesorah. And the best part, is having Morah Tova to guide you! A superstar teacher with extensive knowledge and a deep understanding of kriah.

As a kriah specialist, I have used this Sefer with many of my students. I like the scope and sequence of the sefer, as well as the clear and nice format. These struggling readers, have become confident, accurate readers, with remarkable progress in fluency as well.
Hatzlocha!

The clear format and systematic approach makes it teacher friendly and is inviting for a student and makes it easy to succeed. The layout of the book helps the children focus on their reading. I have 12 reading books, but not a day goes by that I don’t use this book for my special needs children.

Alephbeis is a must for any school or teacher that wants a proven successful all encompassing Kriah curriculum.  Since it is easy to follow and fun, students are  motivated to remain active during the kriah lessons.   The assessments align perfectly with each skill ensuring that every student’s progress is tracked throughout their elementary years.   When followed with integrity and consistency, mastery of Hebrew reading with accuracy as well as fluency all while reading with confidence and positivity is an attainable goal for all.  Our students grades 1-4 have shown incredible achievement in their reading since adopting the Alephbeis curriculum in our school 2 years ago.  Our students look forward to their daily Kriah lessons and the teachers find it easy and convenient to use.  

Mrs. Aliza Scharf
Kriah Curriculum Coordinator and Reading Specialist, Shulamith School for Girls

The Alephbeis program has transformed the way my students learn Kriah. The Alephbeis  program encompasses every aspect  of teaching Kriah. It begins with letter recognition and moves all the way to reading Rashi fluently. The material is clear and beautifully written.  From classwork to homework and then to review booklets for all the vacations throughout the year- it allows students to constantly review and strengthen their skills. My students all are motivated to learn and love when it is time to learn Kriah. The creators of Alephbeis have thought of every detail to maximize each lesson. They are always available to discuss any question that arises and help me teach the program to its fullest. The  Alephbeis website is also a wonderful tool for parents to review at home with their children. The program is able to be individually modified to any skill or level so it is a very good option for tutoring students. The assessments are designed to pinpoint every last detail of each student’s strengths and weaknesses and help me pinpoint which skills need review. 

Tova Fruchter
Kriah Coordinator, Shulamith School for Girls

The support I’ve received from Tova Rottenberg, the educational director of the Alephbeis program, has been truly outstanding. She is always open to feedback and consistently makes updates to the program based on our suggestions, highlighting her commitment to ensuring it meets the needs of both educators and students. Her availability and willingness to provide guidance whenever needed have greatly enhanced my ability to implement this program successfully and confidently. The updates and personalized support have also led to significant Kriah gains for our students. I couldn’t ask for better support.

Nelly Brody
Kriah Specialist, Manhattan Day School

There are so many different aspects of this Kriah program, which are phenomenal. I have been teaching Kriah for more than ten years, and find each feature of this program useful and practical to help attain Kriah goals within the classroom or the student support center.

The technology which enables smart testing in between written assessments, aids teachers in knowing which students can benefit from extra support. The alephbeis portal generates the data from the written assessments, so that teachers know how to proceed in teaching and what to practice more. Teachers can then prepare materials tailored to the students’ needs, and work with them so that they can reach the Kriah outcomes expected for that year.

In addition to the frontal lessons, our school uses Kriah centers in Kindergarten and First grade. The resources that are available enabled me to create many fun, data-based centers which supported the students’ learning.

 The live online teachers forum , AMA, that Tova the curriculum developer hosts allowed me to realize the success of this program with other schools, and how to implement techniques and ideas from other teachers into our schools’ techniques. The personalized support provided by Tova is exceptional!

 The Alephbeis Kriah program has been instrumental in bringing up the Kriah level within our school.
