What they tell us

I just want to tell you how much I use your Mini Flipbooks and how useful and helpful they are for learning how to blend. You presented them at a workshop by Torah Umesorah a few years ago and I was so excited by this creative way to work on blending and nekudos. They are simple to use and a great kriah tool for anyone in the kriah field!

I have been using The Kriah Program with my first grade students this year and I am very pleased with the program. I have seen excellent progress in accuracy and fluency as we have progressed through the sefer.

It is a beautifully designed layout that the students are proud to use because it really looks very “grown up”. The print is clear and a good size, gradually getting smaller as the students become more proficient. The sequence of skills presented is very logical while it facilitates student success. I did not see the need for any supplemental practice of the skills because that is built into the program without it becoming boring.

I also liked that I could adapt the sefer to students who were able to move fast and also to students who needed a slower, more thorough approach to the kria lesson. The assessment that goes along with the sefer is quick and easy to administer while providing detailed information on each child’s skills and needs.

Mrs. Tova Rottenberg makes herself available to answer any questions and see to it that teachers are satisfied with the sefer. She also invites suggestions and requests from teachers to make the program even better.

I would highly recommend this sefer for use in a kindergarten or first grade class.

As a Resource Room teacher, I have found the book Hakriah V’hakedusha very helpful. The systematic approach builds from one skill to another in a logical, consistent way. Each page contains different practice activities for my students who are all on different levels, allowing me to individualize for each one.
