We reviewed and studied the letters ( أ – د ), the name of harakat (fatah, kasra , and dama) and how to read the letters studied with them; this has been accomplished though a number of activities, such as songs, games, stories and competitions. The children have found these activities to be exciting and fun. Please ask your children about them and watch as they make the sounds and the actions.
Reading: Read the letter د with short vowels (fatha, kasra and dama).
Writing: Practice writing the letter د in the arabic workbook and textbook at school. How to write the د at the beginning- middle- and end of words.
Orally: Ask the kids what is your name? and how are you? in Arabic. Know the different between asking a boy or a girl ( feminine and masculine ) كيف حالك ؟ ما اسمـك؟ The kids have to answer in a complete sentences.
how many days in a week? كم يوم في الاسبوع ؟
