Dear Jennifer Joy,
Thanks for the ideas. I do read the sets myself for English - however, for Arabic, it is best that a native speaker pronounce the words because the stress patterns in pronouncing Arabic are considerably different than in English. And that is for fus-hah/modern standard Arabic, which have general rules for pronunciation. As for classical Arabic, as found in the Qur'an, Muslim's holy book, the rules of pronunciation are very detailed and precision is required in order to keep the meanings correct and in tact. So, creating the sound clips for Arabic is more work (for my husband) that pays off in the end and will be worth it.
Once I am done with my personalizing Mrs. Judy's Excel planner for my girls - it will be easy to input the information into LR and/or .ppt. I have started and have to continue to carefully create each step to make ensure that it all flows incrementally from one step to the next logically. I don't want to create sentences with words that they have never seen before and confuse them - and perhaps I am being too much of a perfectionsist - but I also don't want to have a whole bunch of individual words that don't really make sentences either. I will review the reading kit from IAHP to see just how detailed they were in each step for the "Enough, Inigo, Enough" book.
Thanks.
