Courses are masterfully given by Rabbi Avrohom Schtroks, Founder and director of HaMesorah, who has taught Kriah to hundreds of students, and whose methods are used by many successful Kriah teachers.

The Rebbe writes in a letter (Igros Kodesh, Vol. 26, p. 234)

“When we think into Chazal’s statement that ‘Hashem consulted the Torah and created the world,’ and ‘Its ways are pleasant ways,’ it becomes clear that if only the method of teaching Alef-Beis according to Torah’s instructions was used properly there’d be success not only in matters of holiness which are related to that approach, but simply in the very learning and progress of the child.

“We’ve seen from experience, that the teachers who became adept in the knowledge of the means and the methods of teaching beginners Kria realized that only teaching by this approach is the most successful… Of course, there needs to be training on how to use this approach.”
