Two forms of Hebrew: block (what you read in prayer books and on Israeli signs) and cursive (what Israelis actually write — and what diaspora Hebrew school almost never teaches). All 27 letters in both forms. 5 PDFs. 122 pages. From $5.99.
Hebrew has two parallel writing systems for the same 27-letter alphabet. Israeli kids learn block first (so they can read), then cursive (so they can write). Most diaspora curricula stop at block — these PDFs cover both.
The printed Hebrew you see in books, prayer books, the Tanach, restaurant menus, and on every sign in Israel. This is what every Hebrew reader needs first.
Used in: siddur, Torah, novels, signage, captions.
The handwritten form Israelis use every day — birthday cards, shopping lists, signing your name, jotting a note. Same five letters as the block row above, but a completely different visual system. Almost never taught in diaspora Hebrew school.
Used in: writing by hand, signing, taking notes, postcards.
Three bundles cover the same alphabet at different scopes. All ages 5–8. All US Letter portrait. All black-and-white printer friendly. All single-family license.
For kids learning to READ Hebrew — the printed form that fills siddurim, Tanach, and Israeli street signs.
For kids learning to WRITE Hebrew — the handwriting most diaspora curricula skip entirely.
Both forms. All 27 letters. 5 PDFs, 122 pages. The complete handwriting fluency package.
Walk into any American Hebrew school. Kids learn to decode the prayer book — sound out the letters, follow along in services, recognize words. That's reading skill.
Now ask a Hebrew school graduate to sign their name in Hebrew. Most can't. Or write a birthday card. Or jot a shopping list. They've never been taught how Hebrew is actually written by hand — because Hebrew cursive (כְּתָב יָד) is rarely on the curriculum outside Israel.
This is the gap. Reading without writing is half-fluency.
Israeli kids learn cursive in first grade. It's how every Israeli birthday card, shopping list, Post-it, and personal letter is written. It's a different visual form than block — connected, flowing, faster to write. And it's essential if you want your child to use Hebrew as a living language, not just decode it from a page.
The Cursive Bundle (and Complete Pack) closes that gap.
The Hebrew Alphabet Coloring Pack (Pack 1) is the full lesson for the first four letters — English deck, Hebrew deck, parent guide, worksheets, the whole curriculum. The Handwriting Series is the practice side — fast, self-paced, all 27 letters, no parent guide because the structure is self-explanatory.
Many homeschool families use them together:
You don't need Pack 1 to use the Handwriting Pack — it stands on its own — but they're designed to layer.
Block first. Block is what they need to READ — every Tanach, every siddur, every Hebrew sign uses block letters. Once a child can read block, learning cursive is much faster because they already know the alphabet conceptually — they're just learning a second visual form. In Israel, kids learn block in the first half of first grade and cursive in the second half. The Complete Pack lets you do this naturally with one purchase.
No — but they complement each other beautifully. Pack 1 is the full LESSON pack for the first four Hebrew letters (English deck, Hebrew deck, parent guide, worksheets). The Handwriting Pack is the PRACTICE side — it drills all 27 letters. Many families use Pack 1 to teach a letter and the Handwriting Pack's page for that letter to drill it that same week.
Diaspora Hebrew school traditionally focuses on reading skill (so kids can follow along in shul) and gives much less attention to writing. The result: most American Jewish adults can read Hebrew but cannot actually WRITE in Hebrew. Hebrew cursive (Israeli ktav yad) is rarely taught outside Israel. Adding cursive practice fills that gap and gives your child genuine Hebrew literacy — both reading and writing.
Yes — all 5. Most handwriting resources cover only the 22 standard letters, but our packs include the 5 sofit (final-form) letters too: ך ם ן ף ץ. These are essential — every Hebrew word ending in one of those letters uses the sofit form. Each workbook has dedicated practice pages for all 5.
The Block Bundle ($5.99) has 2 PDFs covering printed Hebrew only. The Cursive Bundle ($5.99) has 2 PDFs covering Israeli cursive only. The Complete Pack ($9.99) has all 5 PDFs — both bundles PLUS an EXCLUSIVE Combined Practice Sheets PDF that shows block and cursive side-by-side on every page (not sold separately). The Complete Pack saves $2 vs buying both bundles and $6 vs buying individual books.
Yes — single-family license. Print as many copies as you need for your own household, for as many years as your kids practice. Black-and-white printer friendly so you don't burn through color ink. If you teach a co-op, please have each family purchase their own copy.
Both bundles for $2 less than buying them separately — plus the exclusive Combined Practice Sheets you can't get anywhere else.
