How to use it

For grown-ups

  • Trace each row with a finger from right to left, saying “alone, beginning, middle, end”.
  • Write a short word together, then find each of its letter shapes on the chart.
  • Look for the six “stop” letters with the hand in a line of your child's Qaida or mushaf.
  • Keep it where your child does Arabic homework so they can check a shape quickly.
  • Print at 100% ("actual size") on thick paper, or laminate it for a busy wall. For a big classroom or masjid poster, use the 18 × 24 in PDF at a print shop.
