Hi Ketty Rain,

Little Reader does not come with any pre-installed Arabic lessons, but you may find lots of Arabic Little Reader lessons from our Little Reader Library!  To access the Little Reader Library's Arabic section, please click the link below:

Dear Ketty Rain,

What sort of lessons did you want to see?  or just an Arabic translation of BK English curriculuum? And the whole issue of diacritics comes to mind as well.  I think an option to teach with and without would be best.

What do you think?

Dear Ketty Rain,

At the moment, I am focusing on teaching the girls with al-Qai'da Nooraneeyah.  I uploaded Noorani Lesson 1 - The Arabic Alphabet (for Qur'anic reading) that will help with Modern Standard Arabic.

And once we get through Lesson 2 - The Combined Letters, it will be easier to show Nohayo's Arabic LR sets, in which we will name each letter and then pronounce the Arabic word (without tashkeel at this point), and English word also.  I will have my husband record the sound clips and attach them to the original wordfile in Nohayo's category listing.  Also, inside of the playback settings; and just "move up" the sound clip that you want to be heard during playback. 

You can record inside LR with the Easy Voice Recorder:

http://forum.brillkids.com/little-reader-how-tos-and-faqs/tips-on-recording-your-voice/

I would recommend saving as an mp3 file because it is about 1/10 the size of a .wav file.

I will probably edit LR files in order to help others who want the same English content in the Arabic language.  It is easy for you to type in Arabic; as for me I have to ask my husband to type it for me, or use google translate or something to convert the English text to the correct Arabic text and it is usually without tashkeel/diacritics.  Or copy/paste the words as I find them.   

What are you teaching yours?

Dear Ketty Rain,

Have you read How to Teach Your Baby to Read, 40th Anniversary Edition?  Because initially, we begin with a list of 200 words and then combine those words to make about 50 couplets to cycle through over 28 - 30 days.  And then you begin with phrases (3 words), and then sentences of 4 words; 5 words; 6+ words.  It is a building block process. 

I am uncertain how to set up Arabic because I am not fluent in it enough.  The challenges with Arabic are the masuline/feminine; singular/plural/dual versions of each word.  I suppose you would create a list of 200 word list according to their grammar/spelling:  singular masuline word list, singular feminine word list; plural masculine word list, plural feminine word list; etc; and then each set would be used to create couplets/phrases/sentences/books, etc.  You would use the variations of the same words for the word list according to the grammatical function - singular/plural; fem/mas; etc. 

I will call IAHP ask ask them about this because I am curious about it myself.

Dear Ketty Rain,

WAS.  Keefik?   

Hmmm - perhaps KL can help us with the editing LR First Course curriculuum.

Also, to add a new lesson, you would need to create a category:

http://forum.brillkids.com/little-reader-how-tos-and-faqs/how-to-create-a-category-in-little-reader/

When adding words in the category, you can record your own pronunciation; add picture files; add soundclips (I use mp3's); and/or video clips.  The files would be located on your hard drive.  To use the BrillKids media files, some are located at My Computer > Documents > BrillKids > Little Reader > Media Files (images).  I am not sure about the soundclips. 

And then for the Daily Lessons, you create a playlist that is based on the words in any category/playlist files:

http://forum.brillkids.com/little-reader-how-tos-and-faqs/the-difference-between-categories-and-playlists/

We can ask Lappy to help us figure this out.
