Aleph Champ
Aleph Champ, modeled after the Karate Martial Arts system of motivational colored levels, breaks up the Hebrew reading process into bite sized motivational levels which makes it more kid friendly and exciting.
Students start in first grade as a white Aleph Champ learning half of the aleph bet. They work their way through the different "belts" until they become a black Aleph Champ by 5th grade with the ability to read fluently from the Siddur (prayerbook).
