72: Teaching Literacy With Nechamy Segal

Nechamy Segal is the Founder and Lead English & Hebrew Specialist of Scenic Route Literacy and Hebrew Scouts. Drawing on her experiences and professional training as a classroom teacher, special education coordinator, clinical interventionist, graduate-level professor of reading, and mom of six, Nechamy provides a perfect blend of academic structure with a nurturing sensitivity.
 
 Nechamy loves long nature walks in Prospect Park (the source of inspiration for the name Scenic Route Literacy). She is passionate about reading and literacy, and her idea of bliss is when there’s a book in everyone’s hand. 

 Gems: 

• Never feel like you’re done learning your craft.
• The way we learn English is similar to how children also learn Hebrew: through hearing and speaking first.
• Your struggles can be the door for helping your students.
• Find out how to develop the emotional and spiritual connection to Torah and Hashem.
• Teach children that the Torah is in Lashon HaKodesh (holy language), and we learn it step-by-step.
• Integrate Hebrew vocabulary into teaching about the Parsha.
• Children are born with an internal compass and sense of why they’re here.
• Provide children with the rich environment to explore.
• Create real life experiences so that children become intrinsically motivated.
• The more you’re learning, the happier you’ll be, and the better you’ll teach.
• Stretch yourself.
• Lamed is the tallest letter, like a teacher.
• Give your students the tools for them to learn.
