Derech Binah turns 30 this year and remains a favorite in Jewish classrooms. Find out why this smart little primer by Ruby Strauss is still loved by teachers and students nationwide.
Teachers say they find Derech Binah clear and easy to use. Look-alike letters are taught together which addresses visual discrimination issues up front. Hebrew letters are also presented in isolation, rather than in whole words, which many students find reassuring.
Modern Hebrew reading words are also translated into English which allows teachers to play games with the vocabulary. Students have a sense of accomplishment as they read short prayer excerpts and come to the realization that they can read Hebrew!
Derech Binah's small format (7"x 9") feels friendly in small hands.
Students with special needs are well served by Derech Binah which has just one activity per page. Students are better able to focus, to learn at their own pace, and to grasp an understanding of the words and letters.
Derech Binah uses simple yet engaging art that gives the material a sense of timelessness and fun.
