This series is the ideal portal into the world of reading and writing. It has been drafted in style to integrate and develop the student’s ability to write, and to highlight the individual’s talents and abilitties.
In this series, the student learns gradually, first writing letters, then words, and eventually Arabic sentences.

The Naskh Script
Naskh, which means “copying” was developed in the 10th century, and refined into a fine art form in Turkey in the 16th century. Since then it became generally accepted for writing the Qur’an. Naskh is legible and clear and was adapted as the preferred style for typesetting and printing. It is a small script whose lines are thin and letter shapes are round.

This Arabic handwriting series uses the Naskh style of writing. Plenty of work pages give students ample opportunity to practice their skills.
The first level introduces students to the orientation and strokes required for Arabic writing. Each subsequent level progressively introduces more writing skills, including word formation and penmanship practice.

In order to develop linguistic and expressive skills in children, there need to be a variety of exercises to engage the child and help nurture the required skills. Teaching reading, vocabulary and grammar, as many curriculums do, is not enough to develop writing abilities, so additional exercises are needed to cultivate the skill of expressive writing in students. These books set out to do just that, using a large number of exercises to develop the skills of writing and composition in children in the primary levels.

The books contain pictured exercises on writing and composition; children can sort words in sentences or write about picture stories, they can fill in the blanks with the suitable words, or they can rearrange sentences to make paragraphs. Exercises are arranged in three stages over three different books, all with colorful images to attract children.

This three-book series contains varied and progressive exercises to teach guided- and free-composition, as well as functional writing so students can communicate with others in their daily lives. Some of the writing exercises the series focused on:

• Arranging words to make sentences
• Arranging sentences to write a story
• Connecting clauses with matching images
• Filling in the blanks in a story or text
• Describing images and commenting on them
• Writing a story using images and helping words
• Filling in forms and applications with appropriate information
• Writing paragraphs and using punctuation marks
• Writing memos for personal correspondence
• Editing speeches
• Practicing congratulating messages for different occasions
• Writing diary entries
• Writing open compositions on various subjects and occasions

Arabic calligraphy is distinguished by its beautiful, unique patterns. The “Naskh” style of writing is one of the earliest examples of Arabic calligraphy and was used to pen manuscripts of the Holy Qur’an as early as the first century after the Prophet’s migration from Makkah to Madinah. Interestingly, the word “naskh” itself means “writing” or “transcription.” The book includes basic instructions and guidance for learning the fine art of traditional Naskh penmanship. The book begins by training you to draw simple lines and curves, then proceeds to present letters and simple words and sentences that are appropriate to the level of the book. This book is a must-have for aspiring calligraphers.

The Teacher’s Guide contains lesson objectives and provides suggested methods to teach the material included in each lesson. The guide breaks down the lesson into parts while mapping the specific concepts students are supposed to be taught. A concise introduction informs instructors of the main principles of Arabic language instruction in terms of objectives, methods, and activities.
