Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students trace and write each of the 28 Arabic letters from right to left.

  • Students match a letter's written form to its spoken name using a word bank or line-matching format.

  • Students identify how many times a target letter appears within a grid of similar letters.

  • Students identify whether a given Arabic letter form is in its initial, medial, final, or isolated position within a word.

Teaching tips

  • Introduce letters in the same two-at-a-time order the tracing pages use, since matching and fill-in pages later reuse the same letter groupings.

  • Use the fold-over flashcards for a quick partner drill once students have gone through the tracing pages, since each card pairs a letter's shape with its name.

  • Save the ‘Beginning, Middle and End’ pages for after students are comfortable with individual letter shapes, since positional forms are a more advanced concept than isolated letter recognition.

Skills covered

  • Arabic letter formation — students trace and write all 28 letters of the Arabic alphabet from right to left.

  • Letter-name matching — students match a written Arabic letter to its spoken name from a word bank.

  • Visual letter discrimination — students find and count occurrences of a target letter within a grid of similar shapes.

  • Positional letter forms — students identify whether an Arabic letter appears in its initial, medial, final, or isolated form.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Why does this resource include a section on letter position (initial, medial, final, isolated)?

Arabic letters change shape depending on where they fall in a word, so the ‘Beginning, Middle and End’ section gives students practice recognising and writing each letter in all four positional forms rather than only its standalone shape.
