Arabic Resources by Gambian Mommy (Review + Interview!)

In the world of homeschooling or even just parenting, who doesn’t love great resources that are interactive, colourful and make learning fun for our kids? In the Muslim Homeschooling World (or not), many of us may decide to teach our children Arabic, whether as a language or in order to read the Qur’an. You may have heard me talk about Gambian Mommy resources for a while now in my Tuesday Teaching Tips series on Arabic language learning with Yomna from @happyhomelearning. I highly recommend them. I wanted to interview and get insight into the Gambian Mommy I have got to know over the years. Her passion for teaching Arabic to her daughter and creating Arabic resources for non-native Arabs like myself is just inspiring. So I wanted Gambian Mommy herself to give you all an insight into her resources and next steps for Arabic Series III. Here’s what Gambian Mommy had to say when I asked her the following questions:

Tell us a bit about yourself, who is Gambian Mommy?

Asalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh ! My name is Catherine Ngaima Sesay from the Gambia! It’s the tiniest country on mainland Africa, and fondly called the Smiling Coast of Africa and for good reason too! Gambians are known to be super hospitable and among the friendliest people you’ll ever meet (not sure if I meet that criteria thought lol)! I’m a mommy of two rambunctious cuties 5 and 2 and loving every second of mommy life (even when I wanna pull my hair out). I reverted to Islam in 2010 in Taiwan alhamdullillah and I’ve been enjoying the journey, trials and all! I am the owner and founder of Gambian Mommy, my crazy attempt at learning the beautiful language of the Quran, Arabic! Gambian Mommy was born out of my love for the Arabic Language and a desperate need to provide fun Arabic resources for my kids along our homeschool journey .
gambian mommy arabic resources

Take us back to when you first started creating your resources. What inspired you to start?

Three things:
1. Loving Arabic and wanting my kids to have that same love if not more by having fun resources to learn with
2. Frustration at not being able to find resources that I thought were both fun and engaging and offering some continuity to teach a comprehensive Arabic curriculum
3. I am an absolute failure when it comes to learning languages so I was secretly hoping that the constant pressure to produce teaching resources to keep up with our homeschool curriculum will keep me on my toes and have me constantly interacting with the language at some level (since we have no one to speak it with) Sooooo I made the first set, called it the Arabic Alphabet Series I, it looked, so good ! I was like, I have to put this out there. Maybe others might like it too.. and that’s how it actually started. I never really planned on making resources to sell when I started creating them.

What resource do you find your child enjoys the most?

Currently the picture dictionary! I think because it allows for a wide range of activities to be used with it! It can be used by itself or together with other activities in the Series or even outside the Series, such as when we read other Arabic books for example…
gambianmommy arabic dictionary

Which is your own favourite resource you have created so far?

Hmmm, that’s a hard one, it keeps changing especially when we do an activity and I see how much she enjoys it and how much I enjoy it too! I think I have favorite-s, that is, not just one but a couple (if not all lol)! My current faves include the Arabic Letter Forms Letter Wheels and Build a Word and from the first series Arabic Alphabet Color by Word (newly added) and Sound Wheels (also a new addition), and Letter Puzzles, oh and Arabic Alphabet Dot Pages (I have a feeling I’m leaving some out but that should do for now… )
gambian mommy

What is your vision in teaching Arabic to your child?

I’d love for her (and all my kids) to love and have a personal connection with the language! I am hoping she will become fluent in the language and if not, at least the love I have instilled in her for the language will cause her to yearn to be fluent and more conversant with the language, that way, when she reads the Qur’an she will not find it difficult, but will enjoy it and have a thirst for it!

Can you give more insight into the resource packets you have created?

I try to create resources by focusing on skills that are important in learning the language, my resources are always created based on research. So for example the first series, Arabic Alphabet Series I includes the following skills necessary for first exposure, skills that are important to learn from the get go.
1. Letter formation: these packets focus on learning how each letter is formed in non-traditional ways, it includes a lot of hands on activities and can be used in sensory or art play.
gambian mommy resources
2. Handwriting: next stop is handwriting, following learning letter formation, naturally the next stop is handwriting.
gambian mommy
3. Letter recognition: by this stage learners should be able to recognize their letters among a group of letters.
gambian mommy resources
4. Beginning Sounds: and of course these packets focus on phonics, an essential skill in learning to read, especially learning to read Arabic which is a phonetic language!
gambian mommy resources
The second series, Arabic Alphabet Series II which teaches the contextual nature of the Arabic letters has the following skill sets:
1. Visual teaching aids: makes teaching a breeze when there’s a source of reference for you and your kids to refer to whiles explaining how the letters change based on their position! My absolute favorite is the Hound Charts as each section highlights what the letter looks like as it moves from beginning to ending.

2. Phonemic awareness: one of those skills that you can’t miss teaching out on! I taught my kid phonemic awareness in our English Language lessons and she picked up on phonics and reading super fast Allahuma barik lahu! So I had to add that here! In case you are wondering what phonemic awareness is, it is the ability to hear, identify and manipulate sounds and that is why the resources in these set contain only images for kids to listen for and identify where the sounds are in a word!
gambian mommy resources
3. Phonics: being able to link letter sounds to their written forms is another important aspect of reading so I added a couple of resources to deal with that
gambian mommy resources
4. Recognition/Recall: What does a letter look like in the beginning of a word? What about the middle and ending? One of my faves in this skill set is the Flap Books, the words are not connected and are written in there isolated form, so little learners will have to recall what they have learnt and write the word out correctly using the correct letter forms! I absolutely love this packet (and yes I should have added it to my faves)
gambian mommmy resources
5. Beginning Reading: contains some of my favorite resources and if you are teaching harakat (short vowels), you can add these to your lessons.
gambian mommy resources
6. Writing: a language pack is not complete without handwriting/writing as writing plays a vital role in helping kids be better at reading… so if we want our kids to be better at reading the Quran we cannot teach the Arabic language sans handwriting and a lot of the time that is the mistake we make as we assume we are only going to read the Qur’an and not write it, but fact of the matter is kids learn to write better by reading and learn to read better by writing so phonics cannot and should not be taught in isolation.

Where are you moving to next in your Arabic resources series?

I am currently working on the Arabic Alphabet Series III, the third and final series in the Arabic Alphabet Series inshaaAllah. It will focus on learning those special letters/sounds that are not part of the 28 letters of the Arabic Alphabet such as taa marboota, alif maqsoora, laaa-alif, hamza (other forms), alif (is no longer included in Series I & II as it does not occur at the beginning of a word) etc.
Letters that we see a lot of in the Quran but are not taught these letters usually and learning and knowing their sounds are also absolutely vital in learning to read the Quran
Here’s a sneak peak of what’s inside the Taa Marboota Pack! (Cover page, All About Taa Poster and Taa Sentence Puzzles which is used together with a sound card to differentiate the fact that taa marboota has two sounds)
gambian mommmy arabic resources

How can anyone access your resources?

Here’s the link to my TpT store: GambianMommy Tpt store. I am currently having a BOGOF (Buy One Get One free on any resource, including bundles, of equal or lesser value) for the month of Ramadan!
So there you have a fab range of Arabic resources aimed at those teaching and learning Arabic as a second language.

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

I didn’t quite read the full reviews but did know it was set in war-torn Syria 🇸🇾- it’s such an important read highlighting the human plight of the Syrian War sadly but also full of hope. The author did an amazing job writing this! I’m not going to give any more away but I will say go buy it or borrow it - it’s one to read!

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.

This cut and stick activity is Available to purchase in our shop separately - www.mamateachesme.com - will be sold as part of the The Great Caliphs Resource pack too

The 4th Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra) . Continuing The 4th Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra)
.
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.

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!
