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!

 

This post and video above was in collaboration with Yomna from @happyhomelearning  – you can follow her on her instagram page!

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 🙂

Secret Garden Updates Part 2: Now came the fun pa Secret Garden Updates Part 2:

Now came the fun part to plan out the plants,flowers and finishing touches in the garden:
.
1. The plants 🪴 - we opted for plants we researched that would thrive in the shade or part shade including Hostas, ferns and even a fuchsia plant. We also wanted low maintenance plants and these were perfect. 
.
2. Wildlife 🐝- we wanted to attract more wildlife to the garden so planted wildflowers, a jasmine plant and climbing roses. 
.
3. Birds 🐦 - we contemplated whether we wanted to put up a bird feeder or just a bird bath - and a bird bath it was with a solar powered fountain (both bird bath and fountain bought on Amazon) we love watching the same crow come again and again and even pigeons perched on the bird bath.
.
4. Planters and support structures - we bought many of our planters from @bm_stores with the exception of the wooden arch, wooden planters (bought on Amazon). Stepping stones, bark and the wooden borders all bought @bm_stores at really good prices. 
.
5. White bistro table and chairs plus the umbrella all from Amazon (will post up links in a separate highlight)
.
6. Fruit trees 🍎- our secret garden actually began when we planted 2 fruit trees at the back of the garden during Covid. So I’d definitely consider planting some if you have the space (even in planters) - the yearly progress is amazing and they are low maintenance 
.
We are yet to work on the right hand side garden bed so more updates to follow. My biggest advice would be to start with a plan, start small, have a budget and keep adding to it slowly - there’s no rush to get it all done at once. Get the planting started - if you’re new to gardening itself start in pots and planters- don’t give up if it doesn’t grow, do your research, have faith in Allah and it’ll all work out iA 😊
.
Are you planning some gardening work this summer? Try it yourself - you’ll learn plenty on the way iA!

What a wonderful picture book taking us through the journey of Hajj with Bissa the cat who lives in the Clock Tower! 🐈 the kids loved the rhyming element and the cool cat Bissa!

It’s a lovely way to recount the journey of Hajj as Bissa takes us through the rituals of Hajj step by step and the story actually took me back to my own Hajj experience. Lovely illustrations and the perfect addition to your bookshelf just in time for Dhul Hijjah. Swipe to see more of the inside.

I was so glad the kids were up for re-potting my plants and they did such a wonderful job mA. We also included some of our fruit peels in the garden bed which is yet to be finished- but Alhamdulillah all in all a wonderful afternoon with even better company! Who doesn’t enjoy a whole day outside in nature!!?

The life cycle of a plant 🌱 🌼 . Simple acti The life cycle of a plant 🌱 🌼 
.
Simple activity on finding the stages of the life cycle of a dandelion - the girls went into the garden to find the different stages. They enjoyed learning about seed dispersal and found dandelion growing in different places and we discussed how the seeds could have reached on top of a roof or the guttering. 
.
The girls had to then write the stages from the perspective of the flower which they actually enjoyed! Same activity just differentiated by supporting Hibah, whilst Ammarah worked independently.

Dinosaurs have always been a favourite of Hibah’ Dinosaurs have always been a favourite of Hibah’s and now that she enjoys reading somewhat (Alhamdulillah) she wanted to re-read her dinosaur book and from that we went into some spoken poetry and then the start of her poem which was very catchy and we all joined in! 
.
.
Hibah (who just turned 8) has been a bit of reluctant reader. Although she likes books and likes listening to stories, she just wasn’t as bothered with reading. Maths on the other hand was more her thing but as time went on, she had to read word problems or questions in order to understand the question and that’s when she was fine to read. So, for so long her journey towards reading has been one in which she navigated herself mainly because I didn’t want to put her off reading altogether, so we went at her pace. It certainly was very different to her elder sister, Ammarah’s journey. Having said that she’s picked up words faster and comprehends well. She’s full of creative ideas and never falls short in plot twists and interesting characters for her oral or written short stories! Will be sharing more on this soon. 
.
Do you have a reluctant reader at home? How do you encourage them to connect with stories or books without putting them off reading altogether? 
.
P.s if you listen to the end you can hear Nusaybah too 😃 mashaAllah

On Motherhood - Giving birth after 7 years feels On Motherhood - 

Giving birth after 7 years feels like we are new parents again, except this time a little calmer and perhaps wiser. No doubt the challenges will still be waiting for us, but we got used to being parents and are mentally prepared and accepting of life with kids and babies. For first time parents it’s a whole other ball game. There’s a lot of growing up to do - fast! Being responsible for a tiny human is a huge deal but there’s so much love and self growth to take from it. 
.
Motherhood takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions, inner battles, identity crisis and more - it challenges us in every way but Alhamdulillah with it comes tiny mini versions of ourselves - the ultimate way we are tested to continue on our journeys of being better versions of ourselves! 
.
Currently, Nusaybah is nearly 3 months old Alhamdulillah- we are adjusting to life with 3 kids. She’s curious already - the girls read to her and want to include her in everything they do when relevant. They ask if she will be homeschooled too and calculate how old they will be when she is 3 or 5 etc. 
.
For so long, I was used to just 2 girls and our family felt complete Alhamdulillah, but the girls always wondered about another sibling as they saw new additions to their extended family each year. Sometimes it’s a bit surreal that Nusaybah is here with us, a blessing from Allah in every way Alhamdulillah- I think it’s a lesson that we still can’t plan or see our life only through our lens - ultimately it will be Allah’s plans that prevail - Allahu Akbar!

After our germination experiment last week we had After our germination experiment last week we had to look at the ayats in the Quran where Allah talks about the splitting of the seed.
.
Ammarah’s extra task was to write a poem based on what we found out from the Quran. A lot of the poems on nature that we have are absolutely beautiful but we need reminding that the beauty and design of nature is all from Allah. And so we reflected on the ayat from the Quran which prompted us to ponder upon the seeds that we sow. And so she included it in her poem. 
.
We loved using the beautiful Connecting with Allah book by @zacandaslam as well. Swipe to see the prompts and poetry plan.
.
.
How often do we connect with Allah through nature? Do we remember that is Allah who decides if our seeds will grow each year? Have you had a bad harvest one year? Don’t let that stop you from growing the following year - subhanAllah our rizq is from Allah!

Sometimes you just need to have a vision and the i Sometimes you just need to have a vision and the intention and then say Bismillah. Allah facilitates Alhamdulillah. 
.
This vision for a secret garden (essentially a garden space for us to be immersed in nature contemplating and reflecting on Allah’s creation - our very own sit spot) emerged in Ramadan during the Outdoor Madrassah Course I took. Unable to trek to a park with a new born, I wanted a sit spot in the garden and attract more bees and butterflies and essentially wildlife by planting our favourite plants and flowers. Being in a city/town with concrete buildings we need the greenery and to be outdoors in nature to really ponder on Allah’s signs! 
.
I’m loving our progress so far Alhamdulillah - we’ve learnt so much along the way ourselves - it’s still@not finished it’s a work in progress and I complete reminding myself to Trust the Process in sha Allah 😃

How do you spend your time in nature? Do you have a sit spot?

The girls spotted seed dispersal outside with dandelions growing in drains 😅 and our sycamore tree sending its seeds all the way to our patio (we’ve seen sycamore seedlings 🌱 in our patio pots as we were weeding) To see the process of splitting seeds, we’ve been doing this germinating experiment. Swipe to see the differentiated experiment write up.

Do you germinate seeds on paper towels before you plant in soil or do you plant straight into soil? This year we’ve been enjoying experimenting with both methods!
