This book includes 7 educational units that center on children's environment and their everyday activities.
The units are organized as follows:

• Let's Talk. Each unit begins with a conversation that includes the linguistic elements, vocabulary, expressions, and grammatical structures. The goal of the conversation is to make the learning process easy and to enable students to communicate using the language.
• New Vocabulary. Illustrated words enrich children's vocabulary and provide them with new words to use.
• Speaking: Speaking exercises to be completed in pairs allow children to gain fluency using the language by encouraging interaction, sharing, and communication between students.
• Reading: The reading texts contain a variety of cultural topics and come in a variety of shapes in order to meet children’s needs to learn about the world around them and become cultured.
The goal here is to:
1. Accustom students to silent reading and understanding of the content, so that they can become independent readers.
2. Accustom students to reading aloud, so that the teacher can correct their reading and pronunciation.
• New structures. In each unit, students practice creating a new structure of basic Arabic structures. The book presents examples that students can use to create new structures with the help of their teacher.
• Supporting vocabulary. The student's book contains supporting vocabulary in the form of an illustrated dictionary in the back of the book. It includes new expressions with pictures to aid in students’ retention of the information.

Our Arabic Language for Grade Seven follows the curriculum for Arabic language and its general framework; it includes eight units. The writer was careful to choose a variety of reading texts such as poetry, narration, Quranic verses, hadiths, samples of scientists’ biographies, cultural, nationalistic, and Islamic essays, in addition to scientific, social, and literary articles, stories, plays, and tales. The book includes samples of feminist literature so that students can become familiar with different social issues and be equipped to communicate with others about these issues, while listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The units are handled in the following way:

1. Reading Skill, and it includes:
• The text, which is presented with full vowelization (tashkeel) and citation of the source
• The context, which includes a full introduction of the author, their most important achievements, and a brief description of the text and its context
• The reading, which includes exercises that focus on timed silent reading, expressive reading, and good recitation, taking into consideration the appropriate voice, and when to pause and how to continue
• The glossary, which includes exercises that explain new vocabulary through the following methods: using a dictionary, using antonyms and synonyms, and using other appropriate methods such as guessing meanings and using related words and context clues
• Reading comprehension and analysis, which includes questions and exercises to help students name the primary idea and secondary ideas, discover relationships and build conclusions, connect the texts with real situations in students’ lives, create secondary summaries for paragraphs, suggest alternative suitable titles for the text, and answer questions that build the student’s critical and creative thinking, problem solving, and appreciation of beauty
2. Grammar: This unit includes grammatical exercises that reinforce Grade Six material. Grammar and morphology should be taught through the texts that include the grammar, followed by study: eliciting the grammar rule from the students through conversation and demonstrating self-learning. Several grammar and morphological exercises are included so that students can learn from the examples. The complementary method was used: it combines inductive and syllogistic methods.
3. Texts: This unit includes a selection of poems students use to increase their ability to read aloud expressively, to understand and enjoy literature, and to maximize their linguistic outcomes. The poetry they memorize also helps them enrich their ability to communicate and express, in addition to introducing them to a new group of authors.
4. Speaking: The units include exercises and activities connected to the content of the text to develop students’ speaking skills and verbal communication.
5. Writing: The units include applications of some of the spelling issues presented in texts or sentences, followed by study and exercises.
6. Listening: The units include listening scripts both in the listening scripts booklet and in the dictation booklet. These scripts are followed by questions to develop multiple listening skills.
7. Activity: All units are reinforced with activities related to the unit material.

The Arabic language, our mother language, is the language of connecting and communicating between grandparents and grandchildren, old and new, tradition and modernity. For this reasons, it must be given the importance it deserves. It must be cared for, loved with devotion, and looked after like a mother cares for her child, or as a farmer protects his field.
Language is not a goal, but a tool to transfer feelings and thoughts between people. Thus, it is not an object, but a living entity that evolves, just like thoughts and feelings change from generation to generation.
The Arabic language has the ability to adjust and develop because of its structure and multiple features such as carving, shaping, painting, and metaphor. What’s more, it has evolved and succeeded in fostering communication between people. It is a social agent that cannot be underestimated.
People who have the ability to influence their listeners are those that have mastered the skills of writing and speaking. To be an effective speaker or writer among people, one must learn how to develop good rhetoric expression models.
While we may take for granted that lingual creativity is a talent or gift from Allah, we cannot forget that training and culture are the indispensable basis for nurturing and promoting creativity. Therefore, we put this three-part educational book Al-Muin - Composition and Writing into the hands of our dear readers, hoping to achieve this desired goal.

The objectives for teaching the Arabic language in the first part of the intermediate level are as follows:

1. Assist the student with the art of conversation, using classic simplified standard Arabic as the method of expression. Additionally, provide students with the ability to learn and speak Arabic fluently with confidence.
   
2. In "Reading and Archives,” enable students to read texts completely and accurately, emulating the teacher's method of reading. Furthermore, correct any errors students may have in understanding and reading the different texts.
   
3. Allow the student in "Grammar and Dictation" to gradually learn the basic language order while observing dictation and grammar rules. Also, learn to write connected sentences composed of simple texts that illustrate the vocabulary and rules taught.
   
4. Permit the student in “Verbal and Written Expression" to practice verbal expression techniques in order to vary individual style and technique. Teach the student to use acquired expressions and enhance those expressions using personal observations through individual and team activities. Finally, to analyze a text to gain understanding, and the ability to explain, summarize and remark upon it.

This series consists of 2 levels, each level consisting of a student's textbook, workbook, and a teacher book.

This is a complete set of the Graded Steps in Qur'an Reading and Arabic Handwriting Course with books, workbooks, CDs, and other audiovisual aids for teaching reading the Arabic script, rules of Qur'anic recitation based on the Uthmani script, and Arabic handwriting.

Students need to be able to read and write the Arabic script in order to learn Arabic as a language and study the Qur'an. The Arabic script is phonetically precise and easy to learn and teach. MELS books, charts, and audio materials make this process easy and enjoyable. Reading the Qur’an beautifully is both science and art. For reading the Qur’an, we recommend Graded Steps in Qur’an Reading which uses the Uthmani script of the Madinah mushaf, beautifully written by the Damascene calligrapher, Uthman Taha.

There is a Teacher’s/Self-Study Edition with full explanatory notes in English and a Student's Edition. Each unit and each line of text is numbered. This makes it easy to follow the recording and is particularly helpful for both classroom teaching and individual use. The text is recorded onto CDs. Each unit is a separate track on the CDs. You can thus go to a unit and repeat it as often as necessary. The Arabic script is a quintessential part of Islamic art. Learn the basics of calligraphy using the MELS Easy Steps in Arabic Handwriting Workbooks. See how words are formed from individual letters; trace, copy, and compose words; and write from dictation.

A summary chart shows the Arabic letters in all of their forms, with standard English equivalents and as they appear in words.
