Incredible achievement in grades 1–4

“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 in grades 1–4 have shown incredible achievement in their reading since adopting the Alephbeis curriculum in our school 2 years ago.”

How It Is Licensed

Alephbeis is licensed per student, per school year, and the school year follows your calendar: your school sets the date its year ends, in either the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, and the license runs through that date. The break between years gives your school time to set up classes, add teachers, and prepare before the new year begins.

There is a 10-student minimum. Schools can purchase seats upfront and assign them to students as they are added throughout the year.

Licenses do not automatically renew unless automatic renewal is turned on. If you cancel automatic renewal, your access will continue through the end of the school year you already paid for.
