Act. 01: Learning the Alphabet

Hey kids, as-salaamu ‘alaykum…

NOTE FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS:

Learning Arabic for the first time can be a daunting process, but you need not fear because at Little Maysoor we are here with you every step of the way. The first thing we are going to learn together is how to write the Arabic alphabet. In this section, you’ll find various worksheets available for FREE download to help you practice and get used to writing the Arabic alphabet.

Activity 01:

Description:

If you do not have access to a printer at the moment, that’s fine. Once you’ve clicked on this link above, try using your index finger and trace your finger over the letters. Be sure to start at number 1 and then work your way through each number until you complete the letter. If this is too easy for you, try and challenge yourself by getting a piece of lined paper and carefully looking at the Arabic letters in this exercise, copy them out on your piece of paper. Don’t forget to have your rubber handy for this one…

Marhaban guys! Excellent, you’ve made it to Activity 02. That means you successfully completed tracing over the Arabic alphabet. Well done!

For activity 02, we’re going to step it up a notch and try and perfect each letter by writing it out several times, however, this time we have taken away the red guides. Remember, if you don’t have access to a printer, use your index finger to trace over the letters or get a piece of lined paper and copy out the letters several times each on each line. See you for Activity 03.

Great job! Your making fantastic progress, well done!

By now, you should be comfortable writing out any letter in the Arabic alphabet. In this activity, we are going to write each letter of the Arabic alphabet in their different ‘forms‘. In Arabic, each letter has a ‘beginning form‘, a ‘middle form‘ and an ‘end form‘. It’s very important that we learn and memorise this different forms as we need to know them for when we start joining letters together later. Look out for the letters with the (*) sign next to them. They are special letters that cannot be joined from the left.
