MAR Book 1, Lesson 3: Sun and Moon letters

Chapter 3 introduces the Arabic "sun" and "moon" letters, i.e. which letters are vocalised after the al and which are assimilated. So I decided to create a poster with the girls to help them learn and remember them.

You can download the file template here.

We went through the alphabet and I asked them to think of an Arabic word which began with each letter, then we used http://images.google.com to search for black and white clipart of a picture to represent their chosen word. As they went along, I copied each picture to the template MS Word file behind the corresponding letter.

When we were done, I printed out the two sheets for them to colour (one each!) then helped them cut and stick the letters onto an A3 piece of coloured paper which had been split in half - the right side for sun (shams) letters and the left for moon (qamar).

Afterwards, we did the exercise at the top of page 22 and read through the words on pages 24-25.
