Alef-Bet
A game for learning to read Hebrew the way it has been taught for generations — from the single letter to fluent reading. A child moves at their own pace, and a stage opens only once the one before it is finished.
בְּרוּכִים הַבָּאִים לַ"חֶדֶר"
What your child learns
- Recognise every letter of the alphabet
- Read vowel marks and join a letter to a vowel
- Read whole words
- Read short sentences, then read them fluently
How the game works
Five stages in order: the letter board · letter blends · reading words · short sentences · fluent reading. Each one unlocks when the previous is complete.
Who it is for
From roughly age 4, for a child who does not read yet or has only just started. No prior knowledge needed.
For parents
You can choose Ashkenazi or Sephardi pronunciation — pick the one used at home. There is also an experimental check that listens to your child reading aloud through the microphone; it is an extra, and the game works perfectly without it. A parent who does not read Hebrew can still sit alongside and listen to the recording together with the child.
What language it is in
This page is in English. The game itself is in Hebrew — the subject being taught is Hebrew, so the letters, the vowel marks and the recordings stay in Hebrew.
