Qissa means قصة, a story.
Qissa is for the youngest learners. Children hear Arabic the way they hear their first language: in stories, songs, rhymes and play. They start speaking long before they are asked to write.
What students learn.
Listen
Picture stories told slowly, acted out and repeated until children join in.
Sing
Songs and rhymes that carry hundreds of words and the rhythm of the language.
Play
Games, puppets and movement that turn new words into something children do.
Prepare
Gentle pre-reading: sounds, shapes and the first letters, with no pressure.
How it unfolds.
Greetings, family, colors and animals.
My body, my food, my day.
Our own story, acted out for families.
Families stay in the picture.
A weekly note with the story, the song and five new words to use at the table.
- Offered early years rooms, weekend school, online
- Taught by trained teachers, with Fajr's curriculum behind them
- Coaching for your staff from Abraham Education
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.
