Alif means ألف, the first letter.
Alif teaches children to read Arabic from the very first letter. Sounds come first, then letters, then short vowels, then whole words and simple books. Every step is small, so every child can see what they just learned.
What students learn.
Sounds first
Children hear, say and tell apart every Arabic sound, including the ones English does not have.
Letters in context
Each letter is learned in its four forms, then used right away in real words.
Blending
Short vowels and joining letters, taught as a clear routine so reading becomes automatic.
First books
Decodable readers that use only what children have learned, so they finish every page.
How it unfolds.
Sounds and the first letters, with games and songs.
Short vowels and blending into words.
Joining letters, sight words and the first short book.
Placed by level.
A short check on day one puts each student in the right group.
Families stay in the picture.
Parents see which letters and sounds are secure, and get a two minute practice routine for home.

Layla's Arabic this week
Great rhythm. One more this week.
Read one page aloud for five minutes. Then say the letters ع غ ف (ayn, ghayn, fa) slowly together.
