The Judaic Studies Program of Drexel University presents a lecture by Dr. Adina Shmidman, Educational Psychologist. After discussing early reading development and the use of mnemonics in teaching letter-sound relations, a study comparing two methods of teaching the Hebrew alphabet will demonstrate the value of embedded mnemonics, particularly when learning a second language alphabet. Free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. Support for this event comes from the Louis and Bessie Stein Foundation, The Milton and Miriam Handler Foundation, and the Friends of Judaic Studies.
