What does the Writing programme in Arabic offer?
An interactive programme developing Writing in Arabic through Primary grades 1–6, with audio and visual explanations, practice and regular assessment.
How does your child learn in the programme?
They see a clear model, hear explanations and pronunciation, practise during the lesson, then complete assessment and reinforcement.
How do I choose the right level?
The school year sets the starting point; lesson performance shows whether your child needs support or a greater challenge.
Each school year has its own programme.
The school grade provides a clear starting point; assessment confirms whether to begin at that level or with a short support bridge.
