Kids Arabic Courses

This course is designed for young children who do not know the Arabic script or sound system. Letters are introduced in sequential order. Each lesson presents 3 or 4 new letters (or is a review of previous letters). Words are introduced that are composed ONLY of the letters that students have learned. Children are able to learn the letters, words, and basic sentence structures simultaneously.

Students get to see Loulou (the main character) at home, school, at the farm, in the garden, etc. Children learn to read and write words related to the world around them.

This is the first in a series of courses that are based on guesswork. This active involvement of students in the lesson greatly increases their retention.

Students learn the names and characteristics of the different types of fruits and vegetables, as well as how to ask questions about and describe them.

This course can be completed in connection with, or after Guess-Fruits and Vegetables. Because students have learned how to describe a fruit or vegetable, they are ready to hear a story about them. The stories re-enforce vocabulary as well as introduce new words.
