This author had specific needs in order to accommodate the novice Hebrew readers that she trained for their B'nei Mitzvah. These students had one or more mild learning disabilities, such as Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD, non-verbal learning disorder, dyslexia, poor long term memory and executive functioning disorder.

Prior to studying with this author, many of the students had not been able to learn to read Hebrew, despite having attended an afternoon Hebrew school for several years. The reasons for this were varied. Nevertheless, along with being faced with having to remediate their Hebrew reading skills as quickly and efficiently as possible, this author needed to provide her students with texts that would give them the best chance at learning to vocalize the assigned B'nei Mitzvah texts with a limited amount of teaching time.

None of the modifications that this author employs changed the fact that all students achieved mastery of the text only through lots of repeated attempts to vocalize their assigned texts and frequent check-ins with their tutor.
