Teaching your children Arabic from Madinah Arabic Reader Series Lesson 1 (Video #2)

Madinah Book Reader PDF :  FREE DOWNLOAD & PRINTABLE Free Flash Cards:  FREE DOWNLOAD & PRINTABLE Our teaching method:  For the initial introduction: I talk to the children about how important it is to be able to ask questions in Arabic. I assure them that asking questions in Arabic is even easier than it is in English!!  I tell them we're going to start with the two shortest and easiest ways for now. (haal & Aaa) you can now read to the children the new page (p.4) or have the children read it if they are strong.  I prefer to start with reading each phrase or vocabulary term one by one after me.  When they are confident with the pronunciation of the words. I give them the new vocabulary cards for the unit which we will write today (Link p. 4 new vocab.) They will write the vocabulary words 10 times or 5 times each from Sunday through Thursday. Take special care that the children are saying the word out loud as they write. Using all of their senses

I give them the vocabulary cards for the unit.  They will write the vocabulary words 10 times or 5 times each from Sunday through Thursday.  These words will be written while looking at the illustrated vocabulary cards. They are reading CVC words in English but not yet on the level where they can read the translation for the more difficult words. So the pictures serve as a translation for them at this age.  We do NOT return to the unit in the book until they have MEMORIZED ALL of the vocabulary. This is the MOST IMPORTANT STEP in my opinion.  Food for though
