ASA,
Since we are all trying to teach our children to read, I wanted to share some history of the development of the Arabic script and writing system with you.
Arabic was an oral tradition for many centuries that is explored by the famous Classical Arabic scholar, Dr. Michael Zwettler of Ohio State University >
