arabic montessori letters

How to start teaching your child to read Arabic at home!

So your child has just learnt all their Arabic alphabet sounds and they are ready to move on to reading Arabic, where to next? This post will outline how to start teaching your child to read Arabic at home in fun and easy ways using interactive resources  – some free and some bought! If you have just landed on this post and are looking for how to begin teaching the Arabic Alphabet home – click on my previous post here.

how to start teaching your child to read arabic

Step #1 – Introduce the beginning letter form

Start by introducing the beginning form of the Arabic letters along with recapping the whole letter sounds too. Unlike English, Arabic letters sometimes look completely different when joint together in a word – it’s a bit like really difficult joined up English hand-writing. Therefore, it’s important to teach your child how the letters connect. I highly recommend these lovely Arabic Alphabet Snap cards by Iqra Games. They come in mini card sizes (smaller than a normal pack of cards size) in different colours for each letter form – beginning, middle and end. There are suggestions to play a number of different games including snap and the memory game which are 2 of our faves. It’s best to let your children get confident with the beginning Arabic letter form first (red cards below) – so they don’t get so confused with the middle and end letter forms. It’s also good to highlight that there are some letters that do not change or connect to other Arabic letters -these letters are special is the best explanation! 🙂

Step #2 – Fun & Easy matching activities

A great follow up activity to help your child recognise the Arabic alphabet beginning forms is with this cool activity below. We modified this activity from this awesome book Teach Your Child to Read Arabic in 10 EASY Lessons. I love how this book Umm Summaya uses montessori methods to teach Arabic! We cut them up and laminated them to use as a peg the correct letter activity. It works well as a matching the beginning Arabic letter form to the Arabic whole letter.

Step #3 – Use phonic knowledge to sound out and blend to read!

Introduce sounding out of Arabic letters to build words. I absolutely loved this phonics style activity from  Teach Your Child to Read Arabic in 10 EASY Lessons. So we printed it and laminated them! It’s great to practise the Arabic letter sounds and then blending to read just like we would in phonics in English. At this stage it isn’t necessary for your child to know about the tashkeel (dhamma, fat-ha, kasrah). They can sound out the letters and you can correct it for blending without going into details on tashkeel. Our main focus in this stage is letter sound recognition and connecting letter forms.

Step #4 – Build the words!

The next step is a fun activity where children are encouraged to build the words using Montessori style Arabic letter connectors (Yomna bought these pictured from Egypt). Alternatively You can check out the awesome Arabic Letter Connector I have from Ilm projects, or even Arabic Letters Cubes. All these work in pretty much the same way to help your child build the Arabic connector letters to make words.

Step #5 – Reading new vocabulary with object clues!

At this stage, you will want your child to read to understand some of the vocabulary too. So you can simply write out simple 3 letter Arabic words (a list will be sent out in our newsletter – be sure to subscribe below!) and once they sound out the letters and blend, they can pick out the correct object from a basket to match the word.

Step #6 – Listening activities & pronunciation!

Children (and even adults) can find the similar sounding letters in Arabic confusing. So this activity we do below with the kids is fabulous! The children listen to word being said and peg the letter. You can find this to download for free on here. These resources along with many more are absolutely FREE shared by a sister who posts her resources on her Facebook group called Arabic Worksheets.

Step #7 – Introduce the tashkeel starting with Fat-ha!

I started this step by making my own very basic tashkeel letters on coloured card. Alternatively you can download and print the free flashcards with tashkeel by a Muslim Homeschool too! You can go through the sounds individually or mix it up and put 2 to 3 cards at a time to see if your child can connect the dots between the letter sound + fat-ha + then the next letter with fat’ha. Remember to start slow and work at your child’s pace. Below are pictures of some zigzag booklets I made when introducing the fat’ha to Ammarah 🙂 You can also bring back the montessori style connector letters or even the  Arabic Letter Connector from Ilm projects (which also includes the tashkeel). I have also recommended the Ajmal Al Qawaaid book to help those who want their children to begin reading Arabic to access the Qur’an.

Step #8 – Check out our fave Arabic resources to help with teaching your child to read Arabic below!

We recommend:

  1. Arabic Alphabet for Kids with Animals – Learn Arabic ABC with Zakaria – a lovely video which goes through the tashkeel of each letter and some vocabulary.
  2. Arabic Worksheets Facebook Group – Here you’ll find a lot of free worksheets for all kinds of Arabic learning!
  3. Dr Laura’s Kitchen has a cute section on making little Arabic vocabulary books. Our girls really enjoyed making these! (although the site is in Arabic – it is fairly easy to download the resources because of the pictures attached!)
  4. Mona’s Bonyan Academy featuring Montessori style Arabic resources to help with reading as in the picture below! (Her website is in Arabic) – you can email her for more info and find her on Facebook too.
  5. Gambian Mommy’s superb, colourful resources for letter connecting and so much more!

 

What’s more is we even dedicated our Tuesday Teaching Tips video to reading in Arabic this week. For more on how to teach Arabic to your child at home! Watch below – Subscribe to my Youtube channel so you never miss a video!

Masha’Allah, leaving the ‘vowel sounds’ until later seems really dyslexia-friendly. I think step four here will appeal to everyone in my family, insha’Allah, so I have added your recommended resources to my wishlist and bookmarked this post. Jazakillahkhayr.

Thank you for sharing! This is really helpful information. One difficulty I am running into with Arabic is that we speak Iraqi Arabic in the home, but children’s books are in MSA. Often when I’m reading, I feel like I have to keep “translating” from MSA to the Iraqi dialect. (I have two boys: 2.5 yrs and 4.5 yrs.) I try not to translate all the words – I want them to pick up some of the meaning just from context – but if I read everything in MSA, they don’t understand it very well and they quickly get bored. I worry that it’s a lot to expect of such young children to speak the Iraqi dialect, to learn modern standard Arabic, AND to learn to speak/read/write English in preschool.

I think the best thing is as they are so young, get familiar with speaking and familiar with the alphabet and writing it. The will pick up languages but maybe as the languages are similar in dialect, they could pick it up quicker. You could focus on one language at a time too – hope that helps. You can also check out http://www.multiculturalmotherhood.com who shares the benefits of teaching more than one language from an early age 🙂

Our final lesson on The Great Caliphs topic - subh Our final lesson on The Great Caliphs topic - subhanAllah what a tragic ending for the 4th Caliph, cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet (pbuh). 
.

There were a lot of questions and discussions on what happened next and who became Caliph and whilst I could share with my eldest briefly I think this will be another history topic that we will explore at a later date. 
.
But for now it has been quite the journey getting through this topic on the Great Caliphs and something I’d highly recommend to you especially if you’ve taught your children the Seerah .
.
We hope you’ve enjoyed following along - the full plan and resources are now available in our shop www.mamateachesme.com

Coming to the end of our lessons on the Great Cali Coming to the end of our lessons on the Great Caliphs and we look deeper into the tragedy that was the Muslim Civil Wars. This was something I didn’t even know about in my childhood and only learnt of it during my time in University. 
.
Surprisingly the children’s books we are using didn’t mention these battles - however I felt it was important for Ammarah to learn what had happened especially as we are learning this as a History unit. So we looked to another book (as pictured) and found details of the the 2 major battles that occurred between Ali (ra) and other companions of the Prophet (pbuh). 
.
After our reading we found out that much of the controversy surrounded the murder of Uthman ibn Affan (ra) and finding his killers. We discussed how both sides wanted pretty much the same thing but as Ali (ra) was in charge, he knew how best to deal with the situation. It definitely was a sad time for the Muslims - and what made things worse, we read up - was that there were rebels and hypocrites who were taking advantage of the disagreement and causing more problems! The whole lesson made a very interesting discussion. 
.
.
Both times the companions and Ali (ra) made peace or settled with peace in order to stop the bloodshed of fellow Muslims. 
.
Did you know about these Muslim civil wars? Full resources and planning coming soon iA

Just a reminder to be grateful for what you have - Just a reminder to be grateful for what you have - yes the grass always looks greener, but live in the present and count your blessings. Thank Allah for all that He is given you - your in a place of privilege compared to most. Don’t let Shaytan make you feel sorry for yourself - you have lots to be grateful for Alhamdulillah.

Begin and end your day with Alhamdulillah and allow Allah to increase you with more iA 😍
.

If you’re finding it difficult - start with a gratitude journal and list your daily blessings and feel the change within you - praise Allah often and moisten your tongue with his remembrance.

May Allah bless you with the best of this world and the aakhirah Ameen

There’s something about starting a new exercise There’s something about starting a new exercise book that sends an excitement of a fresh start and a new beginning. The kids are always so motivated to do their best work on the first few pages too. 
.
And it had me wondering why wait for the new exercise book or new year even to get that feeling and motivation. Every month, week and day can be that new start and even within that if the day doesn’t start as planned, there’s still time to turn it all around - with a NEW INTENTION Alhamdulillah. So if you’ve had a wobbly start to the year, month, week or day - remind yourself you can start over - renew your intention, remember your why and say Bismillah!
.
.
We’ve been sorting and sifting through our stuff since we’ve come back to UK 🇬🇧- starting with a new topic soon but wanted to get ahead with some daily learning including some easy activities I’ve prepared in their new books especially as we are working towards the girls becoming more independent and responsible for their learning. 
.
Swipe to see a little of Ammarah’s independent writing of life in Makkah Alhamdulillah - (although we did work through breaking down the paragraphs) exercise books which I highly recommend are from @bm_stores UK 🇬🇧 - durable and long lasting (and the covers haven’t fallen off so far) Alhamdulillah, we’ve been using these throughout our homeschool journey!
.
.
How are you encouraging your children to become independent learners- what systems have you put in place if any? Share below - Our weekly planners are definitely a hit in our homeschool 👌

Reward charts, points for the team, stickers, smil Reward charts, points for the team, stickers, smiley faces, medals, certificates, praise, treats - kids love it! 😁
.
Bonuses, free coupons, discount codes, Tax returns and loyalty points or freebies, compliments, likes and shares - works on us too! 😄
.
My girls love seeing their maths books marked and ticked (sometimes I’m lazy about it - guilty) and mostly love getting their correct answer and perfect score. But over time as I’ve challenged them, I’ve said it’s not about the answer as much (ok sometimes it is) it’s all about how you got there! 
.
As the girls are older now, there is on some days a little more motivation required to get that Homeed routine in full swing. Getting through the daily tasks or even sitting and opening a work book is all determined by how you start your day. 
.
A good morning routine helps (obviously each day is different in homeschool) but I tend to find a good sleep the night before, wake earlier, a good breakfast, some time for play and then an outline of the day and what’s happening works nicely for us. We also usually start with Quran - just gets us into routine immediately Alhamdulillah. 
.
But I’ve needed more and so adopted a virtual sticker chart (created on Canva) idea taken from their Quran teacher @mar_fizzler 😄 probably why they enjoy the lessons too - and we focussed on attitude, effort and achievement to learning more than just the end result solely - after 12 stickers (they’ve really got to work hard to earn them 😅😂) the girls get a surprise treat - last time it was toys on our trip to Dubai - this time I’m hoping it’s a day out instead! 
.
What kind of reward system do you have in your home? Whether you homeschool or not? What’s working for you? Would love to hear more below 😅

We looked back at the family tree of the Prophet M We looked back at the family tree of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to look at the relationship with the 4th Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra).
.
It was of course a great recap of the Seerah too and a look at how Ali (ra) also married Fatima (ra), daughter of Prophet (pbuh) and the children they had.

.
Continuing the final of the 4 Great Caliphs - we looked at the cousin of the Prophet (pbuh) Ali (ra) who was the first child to become Muslim. He grew up in the household of the Prophet (pbuh), he became son in law of the Prophet (pbuh) and was appointed some important and significant tasks during the life of the Prophet (pbuh).
.
Ali (ra) was given the task to return everyone’s money and goods that were kept in the care of the Prophet (pbuh) when he migrated to Madinah. He also lay asleep in the Prophet’s (pbuh) bed when the plot was to kill the Prophet (pbuh) - instead they found Ali (ra). 
.
We also calculated that Ali (ra) was 30 years younger than the Prophet (pbuh) so he was only about 10 when revelation came to the Prophet (pbuh) at age 40. 
.
Stay tuned for the other lessons - will be sharing the full resource pack and plans very soon iA

Since our learning on Uthman ibn Affan (ra) and hi Since our learning on Uthman ibn Affan (ra) and his amazing sadaqah jaariyah opportunities in Madinah, it reminded me of a sadaqah jaariyah project you can donate to in Makkah. 
.
Whilst on our travels to the Haram we discovered this place in the Clock Tower, ground Floor - straight ahead and on your left hand side as you enter through the main doors of the Clock Tower. 
.
It’s called Gayth. A small booth for donating money to charity and the poor in Makkah especially. You can also pay towards an Aqiqah, kaffarah, fidya (including for anything you may have done wrong during your Umrah etc ie not entered Makkah in Ihram for example) 
.
As the girls now receive pocket money, they both decided they wanted to donate towards a waqf project helping orphans and poor people in Makkah last year - a beautiful sadaqah jaariyah opportunity in Makkah Alhamdulillah. I had told them it adds barakah to their pocket money so they wanted to donate- Swipe to see more including their excitement to see their name on the receipt and to be a part of this project in Makkah 😌
.
Thought I’d share for those travelling for Umrah so you don’t miss out on this opportunity especially if you wanted to donate zakat or sadaqah too - they take cash or card at the booth or you can donate online https://ghaith.org.sa/ (the website is in Arabic) 
.

SAVE this post for your next visit or share with family or friends visiting!

Are you often looking for new or different sadaqah jaariyah opportunities? How are you building for your Aakhirah?

“What do you mean Uthman ibn Affan was murdered? “What do you mean Uthman ibn Affan was murdered?” Was the reaction my eldest had to this final lesson on Uthman ibn Affan (ra) “Why would they murder the caliph?” She questioned - and rightly so.
.
And that’s exactly what we set out to explore. What events actually led to the murder of the 3rd Caliph? It was sad to read that a companion so close to the Prophet (pbuh) being his son in law twice and one of the 10 promised Jannah would be murdered. 
.
You can zoom into to read Ammarah’s findings but essentially when we discussed what had happened, we said some Muslims had become greedy. Greedy for land, power and money. It actually became a sad lesson by the end, especially when we saw how Uthman ibn Affan (ra) didn’t use force with the rebels so not to be the one who starts a civil war amongst the Muslims 😞 but then he was brutally murdered in his own home whilst reciting Quran - subhanAllah. 
.
To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.

Follow along for the last few lessons on the 4th Caliph as we share and post this week!

We’ve travelled back to England for a few months We’ve travelled back to England for a few months now Alhamdulillah - like all who travel back from Umrah - our hearts still yearn for Makkah but we are grateful Allah is with us everywhere.

Alhamdulillah for the ease of travelling,  the fact that we can and the duas we can make. 
.
From the desert heat to the colder climate of the UK, always fascinated by Allah’s creation and blessings upon us Alhamdulillah.

Lesson 4 - The timeline of events in the life and Lesson 4 - The timeline of events in the life and rule of Uthman ibn Affan (ra). 
.
Cyprus was conquered and other areas of Norther Africa the Islamic rule was solidified and the rebellion crushed in Armenia and Azerbaijan - this was just some of the victories in the time of Uthman (ra) becoming Caliph. Also, the first Muslim Navy was established and the Quran standardised into one script. There was much wealth and prosperity but sadly some who weren’t happy with the rule of Uthman ibn Affan (ra). 
.
Ammarah was shocked to read that the 3rd Caliph was murdered in Madinah in his home whilst reciting Quran. What a sad state of affairs subhanAllah. 😞 
.
.
We concluded the lesson by adding our timeline to our display wall.

Full resources will be available soon iA

Lesson 3 - with the spread of Islam so far and wid Lesson 3 - with the spread of Islam so far and wide, there was a need to standardise the Quran for the purpose of reciting and so began the start of a written version of the Quran and including fatha, dharma and kasra- which were actually marked by dots. We got to explore Kufic script in detail and close up and thoroughly enjoyed looking at the difference and similarities between the script back then to how it is now.

We found out that a committee of senior Sahaabah were given this task including the original scribe from time of the Abu Bakr’s (ra) Caliphate, Zaid ibn Thabit (ra) and others were appointed for this task. The original text that was collated and compiled into a book was in the possession of Hafsa bint Umar ibn al Khattab (ra). It was used as the base for this written standardised version. The Quran was then recited 3 times in front of Hufaadh (those who had memorised the Quran) included Uthman ibn Affan (ra) to double check it’s accuracy.

Alhamdulillah as we know Allah Himself tells us - ‘’We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption). (Al-Hijr –Stone land-:9) Allah has promised us that He himself will preserve the Quran and protect it.

Absolutely amazing that Uthman ibn Affan (ra) was honoured with this noble task. It’s absolutely amazing to have this miracle of the Preservation of the Quran and the fact that it is still a book that is read widely and memorised widely even today Alhamdulillah!
