I'd advice to first teach the alphabet with concentration on how it is pronounced and then go for the vowel part and I'm in the making of a set for Kyle, inshaAllah will upload them. This is how we were taught when we were kids so we can read the Quran!

and btw, i apologise for not helpin before,was really exhausted and just wasnt up to search for the daddude's ppt and download and all tht........sorry...so am actually tryin to make up for tht here

Gloria

Dear GloriaD,

In addition to suggestions already posted, I remembered the following online Arabic reading lessons that have sound clips:

http://www.shariahprogram.ca/Arabic-alphabet.shtml

Also, for an older child, Rosetta Stone Arabic program would be good as well.

Please check the Arabic forums for additional valuable resources:

Thanks Ayesha - I didnt think about the Rosetta Stone - thanks for mention it ... hummm  I will check it out. Too bad is so expensive, but if this is the best I may have to sacrifice a many manicures to buy it  LOL 

As I said before time is of the essence for us.

Pls keep me in mind if anyhting elso comes to you mind I noticed you posted tons of stuff in regards arabic language - are you arabic?  just curious.  Karma to you too.  Thanks for all your contributions to the Forum !!

Dear GloriaD & Everyone,

Actually, I am American struggling to learn Arabic and my husband is Egyptian, who is a Master of Classical Arabic, and Modern Standard Arabic which is a derivative of Classical.  I have been trying to learn the language for many years now and have been frustrated because most methods are from a grammatical approach - which is not the most effective or efficient way to learn the language.

Older children and adults learn the letters, sounds, timings of the vowels, and how to read words individually and how to connec them.  And then understanding it in context is the next goal.  So, I am focusing on understanding Classical/Qur'anic Arabic with various resources available in Arabic/English and Modern Standard Arabic with Rosetta Stone.  Later I will study grammar.

Some libraries have Rosetta Stone online - so check with your local library.  Or if you are going to purchase the software, you have to determine how proficient you want your daughter to be in the language and then that will help you determine how many levels to buy.

Also, if you would PM me, I may be able to help you find some Arabic speakers in your area.
