7 Fun Ways to Teach Your Children the Arabic Letters

Recognising and learning and Arabic letters is something we all try to teach our children from young, to set them up for the eventual ability to read the Quran.

Learning the Arabic letters should be as easy and fun as it is to learn the letters of any other alphabet. Use these great resources to help your children learn without even realising it.

1. Quran 4 kids

A fantastic website, YouTube channel and e-book set that starts at the very beginning of teaching kids the Arabic letters, all the way to reading the Quran.

There is also an app available which takes them through the different levels, with different matching games, puzzles and other recognition exercises.

2. Arabic letter puzzles

There are a few different Arabic letter puzzles out there. This one is by the Desi Doll Company and also includes the sounds of the letters. Check out your local Islamic bookstore to see if they stock any type of puzzle.

3. Arabic letter magnets

There are also a number of different types of Arabic letter magnets available. Use them on your fridge for easy viewing, or alternatively use a metal baking tray (to save your fridge from scratches) and to make it more interactive and manageable for little fingers. These magnets are from Creative Motivations.

4. Arabic letter posters

Search Etsy for Arabic letter posters and so many options appear. Place one of these in your childs bedroom or toyroom, and make a fun game out of spotting the letters whenever you walk by.
