Hebrew Through Movement - Curriculum Guide
Hebrew through Movement (HTM) is a language acquisition strategy taught in 15 minute segments in which students learn Hebrew by hearing and responding to Hebrew commands. Hebrew through Movement is an adaptation of James J. Asher’s Total Physical Response (TPR). HTM is being used in synagogues, day schools, camps, early childhood programs and other settings. HTM does not teach communicative Hebrew, but students can easily move on to other Hebrew forms.
The curriculum guide includes 10 foundational levels (these get students moving), holiday units, lessons for prayers and blessings and more.
- Hebrew
- After School and Beyond
