kriah for any student
In this intensive, 2-week course, learn a fundamental methodology that layers onto any curriculum, reveals why a student is struggling, and shows exactly how to help them acquire kriah — for life.
THE CONFIDENT KRIAH COURSE
Your instructor, kriah expert Chani Karp, Ms. Ed
4-minute message for you from Chani Karp, Ms. Ed
You are deeply committed to helping your students.
And you’re reading this for one of 2 reasons:
#1
You know there’s always room to upskill
You work with young students learning kriah for the first time.
And you want to increase the impact of the critical work you’re doing.
You’ve seen
surface-level progress fade.
And you don't want that to happen to your students.
You want systematic, diagnostic-level clarity.
So you catch small gaps early — before they become big problems.
#2
You're watching older students struggle
The second grader who
knows every letter and nekudah, yet can’t blend
a word independently
The sixth grader who tries to melt into his desk every class…anything so he won’t get chosen to read out loud
The fourth grader who feels less-than because he’s STUCK repeating the same exercises that don’t help
You’re a seasoned teacher.
So you pull out more techniques and tricks to help these students.
You add more
practice and review
You group sister letters
You motivate with a fresh incentive
You try a new (expensive) curriculum
You pull out the clay and paint to get sensory
You meet with the parents again
(with little to report)
Some of it helps — briefly.
But none of it gives you what you were really looking for:
The WHY.
Why does this child not understand kriah?
Why is something still missing??
You want to be a more effective professional.
You want to help your students understand kriah — so you can fix issues at the root and empower them to read any text they come across, for the rest of their lives.
What if you could truly teach every child to read?
What if you could diagnose any kriah issue —
at the root —
and develop a plan to solve it?
INTRODUCING…
The Confident Kriah™ Method
Developed over decades and used to help 1000s of students, CKM is a proven methodology created by a master kriah specialist. It empowers educators to teach every child to read Hebrew, based on a novel approach that discourages memorization and encourages deep understanding.
It’s not a list of rules.
It’s not about repetition or memorization.
It’s not just knowing which skills to teach.
It’s knowing HOW to teach skills – and why.
The Confident Kriah™ Method systemizes Hebrew reading so children can (finally!) grasp encoding – then apply the skills to any text they come across.
The result: long-term kriah skills rooted in how the child understands kriah — not how well they can memorize.

Meet your instructor
Mrs. Chani Karp, MsEd
A veteran educator and kriah specialist based in New York,
Chani Karp didn’t set out to create a method.
She set out to understand why capable, hardworking students were still struggling — and why even experienced teachers were left guessing.
Over decades of teaching and diagnosing kriah issues, she identified consistent patterns beneath the surface. Confident Kriah™ grew out of that work: a clear, structured way to understand how kriah works, where it breaks down — and what we need to do differently, to ensure kriah for life.
Chani is a master presenter: she teaches with clarity, patience, and depth, and has a gift for making complex ideas usable.
At the core of her work is a simple belief: every child can learn to read — and every teacher deserves the understanding needed to guide them there.
Train with the kriah specialist trusted by schools everywhere
(From America to Australia)
THIS METHOD IS DIFFERENT
Learn the WHY
Most kriah training focuses on what to teach.
Confident Kriah teaches you why kriah works —
and how that should inform the way we teach it.
Kesiva-based diagnosis
Writing exposes what oral reading can hide.
Students can sound fluent while relying on memory. Writing reveals how they’re actually processing kriah — making breakdowns visible.
Curriculum-friendly
No switching. No starting over.
Confident Kriah layers onto whatever you already use. Sharpen how you teach your curriculum, making instruction more precise and impactful.
Repeatable framework
Structure, not instinct.
You learn a consistent way to analyze reading and writing — with extra focus on the game-changing syllables and shva.
High-touch support
Live and involved.
These are not self-paced modules. Classes are live with full Q&A, email access, and an educator community to support you as you learn and apply the skills.
Kids who used to say “I hate doing kriah” now say “This is easy”
“CKM belongs in
all schools”
The CK method is very easy to implement and incredibly practical. Chani explains how reading and writing work together — read to write, write to read — and how they constantly support each other. Now my students mostly read what they write, and it’s working really, really well. Their mistakes are minimal and usually just a matter of practice, not confusion. I’m seeing clear progress.
I 100% recommend the CKM course. I believe it belongs in all schools.
M. Shemtov
“I wish I could share this course with every teacher”
I’ve been using the Confident Kriah™ Method with my students, and the results have been incredible. Children who used to say, “I hate doing kriah” now say, “This is easy for me.”
One student in particular had been getting by through memorization. This year, I slowed him down and really applied the method — and I could see the difference. His reading became more solid, he started correcting himself, and it’s clear he actually knows how to read. Most of all, he’s developed confidence in his abilities.
I wish I could share this course with every teacher in my school!
It was worth every penny.
Shternie M.
“It enhanced my existing methods without a complete overhaul“
As an experienced educator with multiple certifications and a master's degree, I was looking to expand my Hebrew teaching toolkit. Having known Chani personally and seen her dedication, I was confident in taking her course.
What impressed me most was how practical and professional the content was. The course helped me enhance my existing teaching methods without requiring a complete overhaul of my classroom materials — it works as an effective overlay on top of whatever you're already doing.

SUCCESS STORIES
CKM works.
A sampling of the 100+ real stories that make educators believe in CKM — and recommend it to their peers.
“Gave me the language and confidence to guide teachers”
“It’s a really good product”
I recently went to a chinuch conference where they covered kriah, and honestly, I related much better to Chani's course. It's super simple and clear. Even though I have my own way of doing some things like shva (I've been teaching for years and it works), I think she has a really good product.
Chanie Levin
“I gained a ton of information and skills”
I wanted to better help the struggling students in my classes and really understand what was getting in their way. After watching Chani’s chinuch series and seeing her passion and experience, I knew her kriah course was the way to go. And I’m so glad I joined!
I was especially amazed at how much insight students’ writing gives you. I gained a ton of practical skills from this course, and I absolutely recommend it to anyone working with struggling students.
Yonit Dahne
“The materials were practical and easy to use”
As a high school teacher and preschool director stepping into a resource room coordinator role, I took the CKM after years of watching students struggle with Hebrew reading well into the upper grades. What stood out immediately was Chani’s clear, organized teaching style — it’s obvious she’s a seasoned educator.
The materials, especially the readiness resources and cheat sheets, were practical and easy to use, and the slides made it simple to focus without constant note-taking. Even early on, the course has given me the language and confidence to guide preschool teachers toward stronger kriah instruction.
I’m excited to see how these tools will help address the reading gaps that affect students’ learning and davening later on.

When everything else has failed…
It doesn’t mean this child can’t read.
It means we need to address the root.
Other methods focus on what to teach (rules, patterns, drills). CKM focuses on why students struggle: diagnosis, root causes, processing breakdowns.
The difference:
You stop guessing and start knowing.
You stop patching symptoms and start fixing the foundation.
You stop relying on memorization and start building true understanding.

Frequently asked questions
-
All live classes are recorded, and you'll have lifetime access to the recordings
That said, the live sessions are where many educators get the most clarity — because you can ask questions in real time and hear how others are thinking through similar situations. If you can attend live, we strongly recommend it. If not, you can watch when it's convenient for you.
-
Not at all.
Confident Kriah™ works with any curriculum. It doesn’t replace what you’re teaching — it changes how you teach it.
Think of it as the missing operating system behind kriah instruction. You’ll keep using your books and materials, but with a clearer understanding of what’s actually happening when a student gets stuck — and how to respond.
-
Yes., the method is designed for any setting — full classrooms, small groups, and one-on-one instruction. Many educators use it during regular kriah time and also apply it when troubleshooting with individual students.
-
This method is suitable for all ages, and is especially helpful when applied with older students.
Many older readers are strong memory readers with hidden gaps. Confident Kriah™ helps you identify why those gaps exist and how to fill them — without starting from scratch or treating students like beginners.
-
No.
While it’s powerful for struggling readers, Confident Kriah™ also strengthens instruction for all students. When kriah is taught as a system from the start, fewer students fall behind — and those who do are easier to help.
-
Both tracks teach the Confident Kriah™ Method, but if you want formal certification and advanced diagnostic training, you’ll only get that in the Specialist Track.
The Core Track focuses on building strong, practical skill, without certification.
-
Confident Kriah™ is not the cheapest course — and it’s not meant to be.
You’re not paying for a collection of tips or another short-term training. You’re investing in a way of understanding kriah that changes how you see students, how you teach, and how effective your work becomes.
Many professional development courses cost less upfront, but don’t lead to lasting change. Confident Kriah™ is designed to pay you back over time — through stronger student outcomes, greater confidence in your teaching, and (for specialists) the ability to charge appropriately for expert-level diagnostic work.
-
The course includes six live classes in February, each about 1.5 hours long.
It does require a real time investment — but these six sessions are designed to help you understand what you may have been teaching by instinct for years. You’ll also have lifetime access to all recordings and materials, so you can revisit and reinforce the learning as needed.
-
Confident Kriah™ is for all educators who teach kriah; both men and women have taken the course. The program is run in a professional, respectful way throughout, with separate discussion spaces to ensure everyone can participate comfortably and appropriately.
-
Many courses focus on adding skills, rules, or strategies. Confident Kriah™ teaches educators how to diagnose reading struggles and teach from there.
You learn a clear, structured framework for how Hebrew reading actually works — so when a student is stuck, you can see exactly why and know how to address it at the root.
The course isn’t self-paced — it’s taught live, with space to ask questions and get support as you apply the method. And because it focuses on the system of kriah itself, it works across grades — from early readers to older students with lingering gaps.
You don’t have to keep guessing.
Finally understand WHY
a child struggles with kriah —
and help them master kriah for life
Time to move from patching symptoms to fixing roots.
Time to make kriah finally make sense — for you and for every student you teach.
Equip yourself or your school with a proven method that unlocks reading for every single student.
This course runs once a year.
Special group rates for schools.
