Benji spends a lot of time drawing and really enjoys it. A few days ago, however, he decided he would write the alphabet. Then, he decided he would write the alphabet in Hebrew, so I got out the flash cards for him to copy. Aaron says that people don't really write using these formal block letters (apparently there is a cursive version of the Hebrew alphabet) but Benji enjoyed copying the shapes. I was astonished to discover that he knows all the names of all the letters!
If you look closely at the page he's writing on, you can see the orange letters are the English alphabet and the purple letters are the Hebrew alphabet (called the "aleph-bet" because aleph and bet are the first two letters). You can also see him consulting the flash card on his right, then copying the shape on the paper in front of him.
