Does Mitkadem include a homework component? How can we incorporate homework if we wish to?
There is no homework component built into the Mitkadem program, however, some students may want or need to have home reinforcement of the work they are doing in the classroom. Parents can choose to purchase a duplicate of each Ramah for use at home. This duplicate packet should include all the pamphlets and answer sheets, plus a copy of the audio recording, for additional home study. Having a copy of this material at home also allows parents to see what their child is learning and provides an opportunity for parents to learn from the material themselves. Students will still need to complete all of the activities in any Ramah in the classroom, but the additional practice at home, especially reading practice and chanting along with the audio CD, is an excellent reinforcement of the classroom learning. For more on homework, see the Mitkadem Teacher s Guide for Ramot 3 through 6 .
