Testimonials
“When I say take out your כתיבה books, the girls are always excited. They love Velvi the Fireman and all the other story prompts. The predictable structure of each lesson enables a smooth flow. Requiring students to copy words from print to script already at the beginning of the program is very beneficial.”
-Morah F. Shollar, 1st grade Morah,
Hebrew Academy of Long Beach, New York
“I can honestly say I never had such a year before- every one of my students were writing each letter correctly and neatly- and best of all they loved learning it! I highly recommend the program!”
-Morah R. Lerner, 1st grade Morah,
Shiras Ruchoma, New Jersey
“The colors, hints/cues are FANTASTIC! I love the multi-sensory incorporation…your “tracers” and the letter groupings (ie Velvi letters, Rainbow letters), alongside the visually pleasing workbook raise the curriculum to a whole new level of effective and engaging.”
-Morah E. Rabinowitz, 1st grade Morah,
Gesher, New York
“The Teacher’s Manual gives you everything you need to run the lesson, and is fully scripted so even a sub can take
you over!”
-Morah N. Tauber, 1st grade Morah,
Zucker Hebrew Academy, Florida
“What a treat it is for me and for my students to use סוד הכתיבה this year! As soon as I saw the child friendly, skill-based, clear pages and heard Mrs. Isaacs’s professional presentation, I knew it would be an excellent program, and as I use it, I have come to appreciate it even more.”
– Morah Yocheved Munk, co-author of Safa Yafa and Av B’Chochma, 1st grade Morah, Bais Yaakov of Queens,
New York
“Mrs. Dena Isaacs decades of experience coupled with OT training and knowledge are clearly the backbone and foundation of her wonderful curriculum. The סוד הכתיבה curriculum incorporates many of the best methodology and practices of master teachers and is a program ready out of the box for differentiated instruction.”
– Rabbi Moshe Tropper, Vice Principal and 1st grade Rebbi, Emek Hebrew Academy, Sherman Oaks, California
“סוד הכתיבה is an all encompassing curriculum to teach script alef bais. The Teacher’s Guide is very detailed and presents creative ways to introduce each letter. The workbook is very engaging and includes perforated pages which makes it possible to tear out pages that are already completed. It is one of my students’ favorite activities of the day!”
– Morah Tzirel Klein, 1st grade Morah, Torah Academy for Girls, Far Rockaway, New York
“I immediately recognized that סוד הכתיבה was not just a new כתיבה book. Everything was done with tremendous expertise and careful planning. We have begun using the new curriculum and I am very happy that we did. I already see clear improvements over what I was doing until now. I hope that many other Rebbeim and Moros will also start to use this material and that it will be a great benefit to our Talmidim.”
– Rabbi Henach Gewirtz, 1st grade Rebbi, Yeshiva South Shore, Hewlett, New York
“I am so impressed with the סוד הכתיבה curriculum. So much thought went into each and every detail, ensuring a fun, interactive, and developmentally appropriate program. Students enjoy writing in the beautiful, colorful workbooks, and we’ve already seen handwriting growth!”
– Tova Todd, Director of Teaching & Learning, Yavneh Hebrew Academy, Los Angeles, California
“סוד הכתיבה is incredible. It resonates with the kids, and even those who struggle… The curriculum is plug and play with no experience needed on the part of the teacher, and the buy-in is clearly articulated at each step of the process. I can’t thank my school enough for getting this.”
– Rabbi Avrohom Zuckerman, 2nd Grade Rebbe, Torah Day School of Dallas, Texas
“We were so pleased with the כתיבה program from א׳ to ת׳. Every lesson has differentiated materials to reach all the needs of our students. The program is fun, user friendly and effective. At the end of the year we saw a tremendous growth in our students writing and penmanship. The flow is organized and super easy to follow.”
– Bracha Yanni, Curriculum Director, Mazel Day School, Brooklyn, New York
“I have a student in my class with significant OT needs, and I anticipated she would struggle with learning כתיבה. However, since we started the סוד הכתיבה program, she’s been progressing remarkably well. The program’s comprehensive approach – especially the modeling and ‘Trace Write’ features – has made learning each letter clear and manageable for her. She’s doing far better in כתיבה than I ever expected!”
– 1st grade Morah, Joan Dachs Bais Yaakov,
Chicago, Illinois
