Arabic Yes! Book 1: Arabic Alphabet Standalone Forms

In teaching my kids how to read Arabic over the years, I found that most of the teaching texts I came across did not provide what I thought was ample review for letter recognition.  So, I created a book of drills to give them more practice. 

Each lesson has an "in lesson progress chart" that lets the student know which letters they are working on, which ones they have learned, and which letters have yet to be learned.

There are also teaching notes that help you set up a basic routine for your lessons which includes review, writing practice, and dictation. There are flashcards.....


 a progress chart to color in


 and other aids to help you teach such as teaching notes and word lists. At the end, there is a certificate that you can present to your student for learning the alphabet.


This book addresses only recognition of the standalone Arabic alphabet forms (the connected forms are taught in book 2, coming soon, in shaa Allah) 

You can purchase Book 1 at the following sites:

Please excuse the graphics, lol, this was one of my earlier Arabic alphabet charts that I made back in 2009. But it's still a good, simple chart, in shaa Allah that you may find helpful.

Arabic Alphabet Diagnostic Test & Recording Sheet

Not scientific or professional (and yeah, I gave it a overly fancy name, lol), but just a simple Arabic Alphabet recognition test I made up several years back so that I didn't have to keep writing out the letters to test them.  (Another great option would be a set of flashcards. ;)

Then there's this nifty recording sheet so that I could test my kids throughout the year and mark which letters they had mastered or had trouble with.

What Letter Does It Start With?



So many times I have sat down and brainstormed objects that start with a certain letter of the Arabic alphabet to use for Arabic lessons/activities. And pretty much all of the time I lose the list.

Teaching Children the Arabic Alphabet

Teaching Your Child the Arabic Alphabet (AbiHomeschoolsToo.com) - A nice article with tips for teaching the Arabic alphabet to kids, as well as a suggested sequence. I've always taught my kids in alphabetical order, but he makes a good point that some kids have a difficulty distinguishing between the letters that differ only by dots.


Teaching the Arabic Alphabet


I've also got a complete set of lessons for teaching the alphabet to preschoolers/lower elementary over at my old wordpress blog (https://talibiddeenjr.wordpress.com/category/arabic-alphabets/page/3/). Here, I teach in alphabetical order. They are spread out over several posts, so you'll need to scroll around a bit. In shaa Allah, I hope to put them into a PDF file for ease of use.
