Before subscription and production

A precise definition of the starting point, outcome and mastery standard.

Before starting

Suggested prior knowledge

  • • Understands age-appropriate everyday speech
  • • Recognises that words are made of sounds
  • • Can follow a picture or line with support
To confirm mastery

Expected evidence of performance

  • ✓ Distinguishes the target sound
  • ✓ Links a letter to its sound
  • ✓ Blends simple syllables
  • ✓ Understands a familiar sentence
Mastery rule

A skill counts as acquired only after two successes: once in direct practice and once in a new task the child has not seen before.

Measurement checkpoints

Assessment throughout, not just a final test

  1. Starting assessment after unit 2
  2. Progress assessment after unit 5
  3. Transfer assessment after unit 8
  4. Final mastery task after unit 10
In-lesson support

Support decreases as the child progresses

About 60% of the lesson is in the target language, with visual Arabic support when needed; the proportion increases according to the child’s performance.

Pictures, gestures, an audio model and a choice of answers.

Three paths

The same level, a suitable challenge for every child

  • Support: A short support bridge revisits the smallest missing skill in Accuracy, fluency and comprehension, using a simpler model and more practice.
  • Main path: The main path follows the ten units with spaced review of earlier skills.
  • Challenge: The challenge path applies the same level 1 skill in a richer text or task, without randomly jumping to another level’s content.
Transfer to everyday life

Final mastery project

Reader portfolio: your child reads a new text related to “My first reading”, explains their understanding and finds evidence.

Optional home practice: 5–8 minutes: a short read-aloud followed by one meaning question, without turning home into a classroom.

A familiar routine in every unit

Your child knows the stages, while the content increasingly challenges their thinking.
