I recommend flash cards for the aleph bet then give work sheets copying words a few times (Worked 4 me when I was in pre school) They should know it quite well after only a few lessons. Learning another script isnt as hard as people make it!!

I rewrote random small texts in order to learn reading and writing with Hebrew letters for handwriting (an original was with a standard printed letters). That may be a good exercise. And flash cards, of course - the symbol (printed and handwritten), the name of a letter, pronunciation - Anki helps to customise it. Some fonts are still unclear though - I have to play with fonts in Word, I suppose.

Agree about that! Thanks for your comment!
