Sorry for the late updates everyone! This curriculum has had us going a little bit crazy, specifically because of the "Right to Left" support which Little Reader needs to have to display the characters properly.
Here's a little bit more of an in-depth update, just so you all know where we are:
1.) We have already created an Excel sheet filled with finalized words, phrases and sentences for the Arabic Curriculum. We also have already completed the Phonics lessons for this language.
2.) All the audio files have already been sourced, cut and edited.
3.) We are putting together all these words and phrases into complete category files in Little Reader.
***
This is the part where we are still stuck in.***
While we are putting the words and phrases in Little Reader as category files, we have discovered that many - if not ALL - of the words which are broken down with slashes (you know, the "/" which Little Reader uses to denote split colors between parts of a sentence or word) do not display correctly. This is an issue with RTL (right to left) text support which we are completing the programming for.
After we have completed putting the words together as categories, I will proceed with step 4 in the development which is...
4.) Create a schedule for Sem 1 and 2 with the categories
Once number 4 is done, I can open Beta testing to a small group of people who can help us spot inconsistencies in the curriculum.
I hope this little update helps - we're sorry for the delay, but we hope that you can be patient with us... this is, after all, our very first RTL curriculum and we just want to make sure we get it right.
