Subject: Rashi Worksheet Resource for Elementary Level Home Schooling

Andy Levy-Stevenson in Mail Jewish v31n22 asks for resources for Jewish
Home Schooling.

I had the privilege of participating in Home-Schooling in South Carolina
and Kentucky (in addition to my University appointments there). In fact
I produced about 100 4-page worksheets, each with 20 questions, on Rashi
and Chumash (Braishith). This work of mine done in 1993-1995 laid the
groundwork for my Rashi Website.

I also dealt with the problem of giftedness. Although I have been
repeatedly told that my Rashi methods are too advanced for high
schoolers I can assure you that I had 7 year olds coming up with
advanced explanations in Rashi (I used a question-answer method).

The 400 pages of worksheets are available--they have 20 questions per
sheet with answers on bottom and lead the student interactively to
advanced analysis of Rashi. They are designed for both 7 and 11 year
olds. I have tried to get it published. The Rabbis I worked with assured
me there was a market for it but no one has taken me up on it.  Many of
the sheets are on disk (WP 5.1)

If anyone wants sample sheets for their home schooling or their schools
please write me off line. If there is a strong need I can post them
(either on the mail jewish home page or better yet on the Rashi website
home page or on both)
