Reading and writing short texts

Read and copy a very short Arabic statement with its meaning.

Original Kidemy beginner self-study unit · Learn the idea, try the practical activity and review your written answers. Practise spoken delivery with a teacher or proficient listener. Teacher-led course approval and booking are separate.

Learn the idea

Use a model to connect letters, vowel marks and word order. Copy a short line carefully, then cover it and recall one word. Reading a line from memory is useful practice, but a teacher should hear it to check the actual sounds and endings.

Worked example

هٰذَا كِتَابٌ means “This is a book.” Read the two words from right to left. The ending on the second word is part of this fully vowelled model.

  1. Identify the word boundaries before copying.
  2. Keep the dots and vowel marks in the model.
  3. Ask a teacher about connected reading and how to pause.

Read and compare

Roman and Bangla guides are approximate aids. A qualified teacher should demonstrate the Arabic sounds and review your reading.

هٰذَا كِتَابٌ
