How do I test My child

Listen to him saying it by heart while you are looking in the text

If he knows it perfectly , great

If he clearly is not ready to get tested yet, encourage him to review it and come back

What happens if he knows it but not quite perfectly. How well does he need to know it to pass?

Firstly, What we are aiming for, of course, is complete mastery of the subject being learnt. This way we will realize the goals above.

What happens if you are testing your child and he needs a help to remember?

The following are guidelines .

FOR SIDDUR – Being that this is every day Davening, the talmid must be able to say the part of Siddur that he is being tested on, with no mistakes at all. If he makes even one mistake, he must practice it and get retested.

      FOR MISHNAYOS: If a child makes one mistake in a Mishna that will pass.

If he is doing a Perek Bvas Achas, one mistake per 3 Mishnayos.

      FOR TANYA:

If a child makes one mistake in a 3 lines of Tanya, that will pass

***Two helps (reminders of the next letter or word) is considered one mistake.***

FOR BOOKLET

The Talmid must know it perfectly, part by part

For Talmidim in כתה ג and above, they should do 3 items at a time 

 What is considered a mistake?

• Skipping a word

•Not knowing the next word.

• saying a wrong word

If the tester tells you the whole word, it is a mistake.

If the tester gives you a hint (like a letter or two), it is considered half a mistake.

Encouraging your child

Encouragement: you can encourage yor child on his journey. 

Reward the effort and see if you can pinpoint which words are harder for them. 

If it gets frustrating or difficult, you can tell them that they should be tested on this in Cheder. 

Is Mishnayos Baal Peh for everyone?

YES! But…depends how much

Firstly, the Rebbe wants that every child should know the 12 pesukim by heart.

There are some items that are easier than others to learn. 

For example, Siddur and booklet and the Tanya they learn in class.

Here is a link to the tunes for Tanya: www chedermenachem com/tbp.

After you test your son, be sure to fill out the form at www.chedermenachem.com/mbptest so they can get credited for the points 

IMPORTANT NOTE: CHEDER reserves the right to spot test every Talmid on items they were tested on at home.
