3 Learn: Let s talk about roots again. Remember from our colors lessons, we learned that Arabic words have root letters in them that can usually help us unlock an approximate meaning of new words. In this lesson, we are going to take a look two roots: س ر د ب ك ت Write the words from your list that contain these letters: Darasa, the verb on the left, means to study. Madrasah, school, is a place where you study. Kataba, the verb on the right, means to write. A book is a thing that is written, and a desk is where you write. So, if you come across a word with these roots, you may be able to figure out, along with the context it s used in, what the word means. Your Arabic Notebook Let s talk about organizing your Arabic notebook so you can review efficiently, insha Allah. You will want to have a vocabulary section that is arranged by categories, like our lessons, so that you can find words quickly. Secondly, you should have a word roots section, which lists the root letter combinations that we go over. For this section, fold your paper in half lengthwise. Write the Arabic root letter combination on the right, and then the English translation on the left. This way, you can quiz yourself easily, insha Allah. You might also like to have a phrases section as we will learn simple phrases related to your words, insha Allah. Fold your paper in half, as before, for this section.

4 Exercise 2: Reading Practice Go back to the introduction page and read the words, from right to left. Read it several times. Your teacher may point to random words for you to read as well. Teacher Tip: Time student s readings each time to see how fluency increases and to make the reading exercise more fun!

5 Exercise 3: Oral - Meaning Practice Tell the name of each object in Arabic Repeat the drill several times, naming the items in random boxes. Teacher Tip: If you have the actual items in your class, use these with younger students.

6 Exercise 4: Word Sort Sort your list according to the number of letters in each word. 3 letters 4 letters 5 letters 7 letters Exercise 5: Alphabetizing Alphabetize the words on your list. (Number the boxes in Arabic if you know the Hindi numerals) ا ب ت ث ج ح خ د ذ ر ز س ش ص ض ط ظع غ ف ق ك ل م ن ه و ي

7 Exercise 6: Meaning Match Write the word from your list to match each clue. Something that you write with Something that you study at Something that you read Something that you cut with Where some kids go to learn Something that you write on Something that you use to measure length Something that you write in Exercise 7: Quiz Your teacher will dictate your words to you in English. Write the Arabic word to match. Any that you miss, write either 10x or in pyramid fashion (your teacher will tell you how many times, insha Allah) in your notebook for homework. Write the misspelled words on your misspelled words list. Any words that you do not know the meaning of should go on your Missed Meaning List. Quiz yourself with flashcards to learn the meanings.
