Play with Arabic (Workbook)

A child's first experience of Arabic decides a great deal. If it feels like work, the association holds for years; if it feels like play, confidence builds from the first lesson.

This workbook is built entirely around that.

How It Teaches

Every page invites the young learner to look, trace and write — a sequence short enough that a small child completes a page and feels he has finished something, which is what brings him back to the next one.

Across its colorful pages it introduces the Arabic alphabet and helps children become comfortable with the letters that make up the language of the Quran.

The Author

Said Hassan Dhore is an experienced Quran teacher, and the design reflects classroom experience rather than theory — the pacing is set by what actually holds a young child's attention rather than by how much material fits on a page.

Who It Is For

Children meeting Arabic for the first time, roughly ages four to eight. Parents teaching at home. Weekend schools and nurseries, as a first-term book.
