My First Jewish Reader Series

My First Jewish Reader Series is founded on effective, researched-based pedagogy. The readers follow a phonetic approach (the decoding of words through their letter-sound relationship). Each reader introduces a few new sounds while reinforcing those that were previously learned.

To support your students further each book includes: A fun and engaging story that the student can relate to, extension words to challenge them further, a set of comprehension questions that increases in complexity and a list of common words with the same phonetic focus to further reinforce the students learning. These words are derived from the 300 most common words and will also improve fluency. A non-phonetic word will be introduced each reader as well that will cover the common non-phonetic words that exist. The knowledge of these words and the ability to read phonetically covers over 95% of English literature.

We have carefully crafted all our stories to make them fun, positive, and meaningful encounters that your students can read, think about, and learn from.  We take our role in providing meaningful Torah-based content and images for the Jewish context as seriously as we have the pedagogical value and educational outcomes that are books will achieve. Our readers focus on the child, their world, and their culture to provide them with the best opportunities for success.
