The purpose of this series of Islamic books is to provide young learners with an understanding of their faith according to their age level. The language of the texts, the size of the lettering, the style of graphics, and the types of exercises have all been designed to meet the age-appropriate standards for each level. In addition, the content of the text has been written according to a sequential pattern. For example, only certain information about Prophet Muhammad is included in the first level. More details are added at the second level to meet higher levels of student comprehension. This sequencing is a critical part of a strong educational program, which guides the student through a consistent learning process. Although a textbook series is essential for an Islamic Studies curriculum, it is imperative that educators use these books as a stepping stone for an active learning experience. Student retention of knowledge and love for this subject will depend upon the employment of many creative and exciting teaching techniques. Teachers may plan different projects around a particular unit. For example, when discussing "Show Kindness to Animals," students could paint their favorite animals, write a poem, or write a report on an endangered species. Islamic stories and other literature that emphasize moral values would also complement this program well. This series is intended for students who are 6 – 8 years of age. It can serve as a guideline for an Islamic Studies Program at a full-time or weekend school. Parents may also use this series at home. This Book Belongs to the Student where they will begin to learn more about themselves in relation to their family, their friends, their classmates, and most important of all, to Allah, the One and Only God. This is a book filled with wisdom and knowledge that you will need to lead a happy and loving life. It is a gift to you from your parents and teachers, those who love you and want the best for you. Now, it is time for you to receive this special knowledge that has been passed down throughout generations from the time of Prophet Muhammad PBUH, who lived over 1,425 years ago.

The I Learn Arabic: Multi-Lingual series is a multi-lingual, simplified series for teaching Arabic to non-native speakers, which covers the elementary school levels. It is a suitable series for instructors with only 1.5 to 2 hours per week for teaching Arabic.

The I Learn Arabic: Multi-Lingual series is the same as the I Learn Arabic: Simplified Curriculum series, with one exception. The multi-lingual series has introductions and instructions in four languages: Arabic, French, English and German. The rest of the content in the series is in Arabic, and is not translated into these languages. The series is perfectly suited for students who come from non-Arabic speaking families, and need a mediating language to understand instructions.

The series consists of three levels: first, second and third levels. These are immediately followed by another series called the “I Love and Learn Arabic” series, which contains levels four, five and six.

The books form a well-developed curriculum that presents Arabic in an educational, interesting, and simple manner. These books pay great attention to the needs of non-native speakers, and those living in the West. They are characterized by inclusiveness and integration. The series looks at language as a group of general skills and particular exercises. The instructor should not spoon-feed or force the information on students. Rather, they should strive to help students learn these skills by communicating with students; involving students directly in the discovery of the skills, having students pick up these skills, understand, analyze, and finally use them.

The series aims to teach Arabic to children in the best and most advanced ways, by training them in the following areas:

• Linguistic aptitude: this includes the four language skill areas of listening, speaking, reading and writing
• The three linguistic elements: phonetics, vocabulary and grammatical structures
• Communication aptitude: the ability to communicate, in verbal and written forms, with native speakers
• Cultural aptitude: imparting various aspects of the Arab-Islamic culture in a form that is interesting and enticing for children at this age, while merging this with aspects of the child’s own culture in the West at this stage

This series depends on Modern Standard (formal) Arabic. It does not use any of the various Arabic dialects, nor does it use a second language to explain. However, it does use the most advanced methods and ways for teaching second languages, while taking into account the nature of the Arabic language. The series is also guided by the curriculums and teaching methods of the Common European Framework of Reference (Cadre européen commun de référence pour les langues), which was put together by the Council of Europe. This framework is the basic reference guide for teaching languages in Europe from all angles (objectives, content, teaching methods, styles, etc.). It is a result of the work of language instruction experts in 41 European member states of the Council of Europe. The goal of utilizing this framework is to allow Arabic to take its rightful place in Europe (and the West in general), alongside the other living languages of the world.
