Free Printable Hebrew Alphabet Charts and Tracing Sheet

About these hebrew alphabet handouts

The Hebrew alphabet, the alef-bet, has twenty-two letters and is read from right to left. This set has four sheets. The main chart shows each letter with its name and its Modern Hebrew sound. The second sheet shows the five letters that take a different shape at the end of a word. The third is a tracing sheet with a solid model and dotted letters to trace. The fourth shows the vowel points, called niqqud, on the letter bet.

Letters are shown in a plain print typeface, the kind used in textbooks, not in handwriting or in the style of a Torah scroll, so students will see differences when they meet other styles. Sounds follow Modern Hebrew. Other communities pronounce some letters differently, and a teacher in a congregational school may want to note the local pronunciation beside the chart. Bet, kaf and pe each have two sounds that depend on a dot, and shin has two that depend on the position of a dot.

Start with the letters chart and learn a few letters at a time, then use the tracing sheet for handwriting practice. Introduce the final forms once students know the regular letters, and add the vowel points after that. The vowel chart notes that most adult Hebrew is written without the points. All four sheets have name and date lines, so students can keep them as a record of progress.

How to use them

1. Print the letters chart and hang it where students read right to left, starting at the right.
2. Teach four to six letters at a time, saying the name and the sound.
3. Move to the tracing sheet for handwriting practice, starting on the right.
4. Add the final forms once the regular letters are familiar.
5. Introduce the vowel points last, using the bet examples.

Classroom tips

• Have students trace each letter in the air with a finger before they trace it on paper.
• Teach the letters in groups of similar shapes, such as dalet and resh or bet and kaf, so the differences are clear.
• Point out that the page reads from right to left, and let students flip a book to see the habit.
• Send a copy home so families who read Hebrew can help with pronunciation.
