Built for Every Hebrew Program

Kriakala fits seamlessly into any school's Hebrew instruction — regardless of frequency or setting.

Supplementary & After-School Hebrew Programs

When Hebrew class meets once or twice a week, Kriakala bridges the gap. Children continue practicing at home with the same curriculum — building continuity and momentum.

Jewish Day Schools

Use Kriakala as a classroom center, homework tool, or differentiated instruction resource. The structured curriculum aligns with standard Aleph Bet and Nikud sequences.

Hebrew as a Second Language (HSL)

Kriakala was built specifically for HSL learners — children who speak English at home and need extra support connecting sounds to letters outside the classroom.

Homeschool Hebrew Programs

For families who teach Hebrew at home, Kriakala provides a complete, educator-designed curriculum — from the first letter of the Aleph Bet to reading full sentences.

What Educators Say

"I use Kriakala as a reading center in my class. Students ask to go to the 'Hebrew game station' — which means they're practicing without realizing it."

— Hebrew teacher, supplementary Hebrew program, New Jersey

"The structured progression matches exactly what we teach. I recommend parents download it and I've seen students make 2–3x more progress."

— Hebrew teacher, Jewish day school, Florida

"For students who struggle with Hebrew, Kriakala gives them a low-pressure way to repeat and reinforce at their own pace."

— Special education Hebrew teacher, California
