Description
The Jusuur 1 Arabic Alphabet Workbook is designed to be used alongside Jusuur 1: Beginning Communicative Arabic. It teaches students the letters, short vowels, and diacritics found in Arabic, with a focus on introducing letters in order of frequency rather than traditional alphabetical order. This approach enables students to begin reading and writing meaningful phrases early on. Each letter section includes an introduction to the letter, space for writing practice, and activities to practice reading and dictation. The workbook also features authentic examples of language from various sources, samples of real Arabic handwriting, and guidance on recognizing and writing letters that look different when printed versus handwritten. By the end of using this workbook, students will have learned all the letters and sounds of the Arabic alphabet, providing a firm foundation for continued study with Jusuur 1: Beginning Communicative Arabic.
