The Madinah [Medinah] Arabic Course for Children

THE MADINAH ARABIC COURSE FOR CHILDREN :

WORKBOOK LEVEL TWO

This is 'Workbook Level Two' of the 7-book series 'Madinah Arabic Course for Children' aimed for second year elementary school children. The series contains three textbooks, three workbooks and a calligraphy skills book. ('Arabic Calligraphy Made Easy')

It has been developed, modified, improved and tested over a period of several years to make it as suitable as possible for children learning Arabic for the first time (specifically non-native speakers) and particularly for those who are just able to recognize Arabic letters and sounds.

It is a full-color, A-4 sized book filled with pictures, illustrations, and large sized fonts appropriate for children, as well as extra pages for dictation at the end of the book. Additionally, it has been printed on non-glossy paper and therefore can be written on in pencil, and allows for easy erasing.

'Workbook Level Two' is so easy that virtually anyone with basic Arabic skills can teach it. This is especially true for those who have undergone Dr V. Abdur Rahim's famous 'Madinah Arabic Course' (the adult series). It does not contain random exercises, but rather drills the student to read and think in an Arabic medium.

It contains 17 chapters corresponding to the chapters of 'Textbook Level Two, and is 68 pages long.

HOW THIS BOOK WAS MADE :

This book was created with Microsoft Word 2007. Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop (Middle Eastern versions) were used for the drawings, illustrations and pictures which were then inserted into Word. The Word document was converted into a PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Traditional Arabic Bold was used for text with font size 30. For page numbers I've used Simplified Arabic as I've found it to be a bit easier to distinguish.

Thank you! Shukran!
