A precise definition of the starting point, outcome and mastery standard.
Suggested prior knowledge
- • Understands age-appropriate everyday speech
- • Recognises that words are made of sounds
- • Can follow a picture or line with support
Expected evidence of performance
- ✓ Connects sounds with letters and vowel marks
- ✓ Blends syllables to read a word
- ✓ Follows the line without losing place
- ✓ Understands who acted and what happened
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.
Assessment throughout, not just a final test
- Starting assessment after unit 2
- Progress assessment after unit 5
- Transfer assessment after unit 8
- Final mastery task after unit 10
Support decreases as the child progresses
Accessible Modern Standard Arabic with visual explanations and clear audio.
Full vowel marking, clear type and decodable texts.
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.
Final mastery project
Reader portfolio: your child reads a new text related to “Young reader’s mission”, 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.
Your child knows the stages, while the content increasingly challenges their thinking.
