Quran Centre Word Work: Surah Al-Asr

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Alhamdulillaah, here is the workbook for surah al-Asr.
 

In this workbook, students will be introduced to two new icons:

On page 2 of the workbook, children are asked to indicate where the letters appear in the word. For example, is the alif the first or third letter in the word; is the lam the fifth or third letter in the word, etc. Students write the numbers 1-5 over each letter to indicate where in the word the letter appears. 

On page 6 of the workbook, students have fluency strips. These strips are to be cut out and students practice saying this part of the ayat until they read it fluently in shaa' Allaah. The red dot tells the student where to begin, and the blue arrow reminds the child to read through the phrase on the strip from right to left. 

All other icons and activities should be familiar to students. Additionally, the remaining activities in the book are self-explanatory in shaa' Allaah, but if not, please do not hesitate to leave a comment and ask for clarification. 

You can download the workbook here or above in shaa' Allaah.

Quran Centre Word Work: Surat Al-Humazah

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Alhamdulillaah, here is the workbook for surat Al-Humazah.

In this workbook, students will be introduced to several new icons:

On the page where students recite to someone else, there is a chart for each student to write the name of the person they recited to, and there is space for that person to "sign" his or her name indicating that they listened to the student recite the surah. 

All other icons and activities should be familiar to students. Additionally, the remaining activities in the book are self-explanatory in shaa' Allaah, but if not, please do not hesitate to leave a comment and ask for clarification.

Quran Centre Word Work: Suratal Fil

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Alhamdulillaah, here is the workbook for suratal fil. 

The format of this workbook is almost identical to the workbooks for surah Quraysh and surah al-Ikhlas; there are only two variations in this workbook. 

There are two pages that have interactive elements, indicated by the picture of the glue. Students will cut out the interactive elements, located on the last page of the workbook, glue them on the picture of the glue and under the flap, they will write the word found in the circle on the page. Be sure to tell students that they will not cut on the dotted line, they will fold the element along the dotted line.

The other variation is that students will not cut and paste the ayaat of the surah to put the ayaat in the correct order. In this workbook, students will cut out the ayaat and then they have the option to time themselves to see how quickly they can put the ayaat in order accurately. This page has a chart with a picture of a calendar and a timer for students to record their results. Having students time themselves is, of course, optional. This page is to help students see how proficiently they have memorized the surah and it helps them see if they need to continue working on their memorization.  

In shaa' Allaah, the remaining activities in the book are self-explanatory, but if not, please do not hesitate to leave a comment and ask for clarification.

Quran Centre Word Work: Surah Quraysh

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Alhamdulillaah, here is the workbook for surah Quraysh.

Like the workbook for surah al-Ikhlas, the format of this workbook is slightly different from the others. Like the other workbooks, there is no language/text in the book aside from the ayaat. This is intentional because it allows for flexibility in shaa' Allaah. There are, however, visual instructions to help the students complete the workbook with little assistance (or, as originally intended, in a Quran centre in the classroom/home-school classroom). 

Like before, in this workbook, on each page, students will find a picture of a highlighter which tells them that they have to find the word they see in the circle, in the ayah at the top of the page. When students see the picture of the pencil, they know they have to write the word presented or circle the correct answer. For instance, on one page, the students see two words from the surah and they must circle the beginning sound/letter for each word. The picture of the magnifying glass alerts students to the fact that they have to search for the word in the circle, in addition to highlighting it in the ayah. 

However, in this book, students will encounter two new icons: a picture of the diacritical marks and a picture of a crayon. The picture of the diacritical marks tells students that they have to put the tashkeel on the word in the box. The picture of the crayon tells students that they have to colour all of the letters found in the word that they highlighted in the ayah (i.e. the word that was in the circle). The picture of the book tells students that they have to re-assemble the surah in the correct order (the ayaat strips are located on the last page of the workbook). 

There is one page of the workbook where students have to fill in the missing word in the ayah in two different ways. 

On this page (pictured above), students will write the missing word from the ayah (indicated by the picture of the pencil), and they will colour the box that shows the missing word (indicated by the question mark).

In shaa' Allaah, the remaining activities in the book are self-explanatory, but if not, please do not hesitate to leave a comment and ask for clarification.

Quran Centre Word Work: Surah Al-Ikhlas

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

After receiving a comment regarding difficulty downloading files from the Quran Centre Word Work posts, I realized that the workbook for suratul Al-Ikhlas was nowhere to be found (on the blog). There are activities for this surah in this post, but there isn't a workbook.

Alhamdulillaah, here is the word work book for suratul Ikhlas. 

The format of this workbook is slightly different from the others. Like the other workbooks, there is no language/text in the book aside from the ayaat. This is intentional because it allows for flexibility in shaa' Allaah. There are, however, visual instructions to help the students complete the workbook with little assistance (or, as originally intended, in a Quran centre in the [home-shcool] classroom). 

In this workbook, on each page, students will find a picture of a highlighter which tells them that they have to find the word they see in the circle, in the ayah at the top of the page. When students see the picture of the pencil, they know they have to write the word presented or circle the correct answer. For instance, on one page, the students see two words from the surah and they must circle the beginning sound/letter for each word. The picture of the magnifying glass alerts students to the fact that they have to search for the word in the circle, in addition to highlighting it in the ayah. The building blocks tell students that they have to build the word using the letter cut outs on the last page of the workbook. The picture of the book tells students that they have to re-assemble the surah in the correct order (the ayaat strips are also located on the last page of the workbook). 

There is one page of the workbook that, aside from the highlighter icon/picture, has no instructions. This too is intentional. After finding and highlighting the word in the circle on the left hand side of the page (#1 in the picture below), students are supposed to find the letters that make up that word (# 2 in the picture below). You can have students colour the letters or you can use the circle stickers from the Dollar Store (or a store that sells stationary supplies); simply write the Arabic alphabet on them and have students place stickers on the correct answer (# 2 in the picture below). Or you can have students provide the correct answer in another way that you choose. 

In shaa' Allaah, the remaining activities in the book are self-explanatory, but if not, please do not hesitate to leave a comment and ask for clarification. 

You can download the workbook here or above in shaa' Allaah. Also, to date, the following suwar have workbooks:

1. Al-Fatihah
2. An-Nas
3. An-Nasr
4. Al-Kawthar
5. Al-Kafiroon
6. Al-Masad
7. Al-Falaq

Quraan Centre Word Work: Surah Al-Ma'un Activities & Workbook

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Alhamdulillaah, this is the word work for surah Al-Ma'un:

This word work pack marks the beginning of students moving forward to begin learning to identify the Arabic letters in their different forms (i.e. in isolation, beginning, middle and end).

The workbook maintains the same familiar format but the focus of the word work pack itself is on the letter ya and how it is written in isolation, in the beginning of a word, in the middle of a word and at the end of a word.

The activities in this word work book are (by page number):

- Pages 7-8: A site word board game for the surah - you can use a spinner and child safe game pieces of your choice for this game. Children can spin the spinner and when they land on a word, if they can read it, they stay on that space, if not, they do not move from their current place on the board. Play continues in this way until a child reaches the word finish. This game would be played at the end of the word work unit so that students have had sufficient exposure to all of the words in the surah insha'Allaah.

- Page 9: Making words - the teacher/parent-teacher cuts the words cards in two and the students must rematch the cards to make the correct words from the surah.

- Page 10: A Worksheet that helps students with visual discrimination. They must select the word that does not belong in each group.

- Pages 11 - 13: Word work mats that children can either use with Play-Doe, colour, paint, etc. This activity is a fine motor skill activity to help students prepare for learning to write or to practice and improve writing skills insha'Allaah.

- Pages 14 -15: Templates for sandpaper letters for the letter ya in its different positions. (Yemeni Links.com has sandpaper templates for all of the Arabic alphabet as they appear in isolation masha'Allaah. I made these specifically for this letter focus).

- Pages 16 - 18: Children sort words from the surah based on where the letter ya is at in the word (i.e. beginning, middle or end) and there is also a memory game with words from the surah that have ya in its different positions. 

- Pages 19-20: Children have the word hunt (all words have the letter ya in its different forms) and also words to sort. For this word sort activity, you will use the same sorting mat found in the previous word work packets insha'Allaah. You can download a mat from this word work pack insha'Allaah.

- Page 21-24: Selected words from the surah that have the letter ya in its different forms. These words can be used on bulletin boards, word walls, or as flashcards.

 Alhamdulillaah, this is the word work for surah Al-Kawthar:

They also continue identifying letters in isolation, work on their handwriting and sort words from the surah. Also included in this pack are three boards that have three different words from the surah on them. These boards can be laminated and used for fine motor skill work with Play-Doe, or students can use dry-erase markers to colour them in, erase and colour again.

In the workbook for surah Al-Kafiroon, children are introduced to begin identifying letters as they are represented in the beginning, middle and end of a word.  In the word work packet there is a word hunt, a movable Arabic alphabet activity that has two flashcards with words children are invited to spell using the movable alphabet, Arabic handwriting practice and more alhamdulillaah!

Introduction to Tashkeel Game

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

This file folder game is used along side an audio program for children that introduces at-tashkeel but can be used independently as well (i.e. teacher/parent-teacher speaking). 

How it works: Three blank white squares are glued/placed as shown above or in a manner you feel is best (i.e. you put the dhumma between the fatha and kesra). The cards showing فتحة (fatha),كسرة   (kesra) and ضمّة dhumma are glued/placed in their proper positions. The alphabet cards are stored in the envelope below. Depending on which letter is being studied, the teacher/parent-teacher may choose to place only that letter in the envelope.

The teacher/parent-teacher prepares the audio program (i.e. CD recording, computer program, etc.) for the child(ren). When the child hears the letter with a particular tashkeel, he/she places the letter on the correct white box below or above the correct tashkeel. An example: 

The letter being studied is: ن

Audio Recording or Teacher/Parent-Teacher: "Noon kesra nee".

The child moves the noon letter card to the correct square. 

The child goes through the sequence placing the letter in the correct box for each harakaat/tashkeel, repeating as often as needed until it is mastered. This mastery may take a few or several sessions, depending on the child.

Because this is introductory, each letter is represented once only (i.e. there are not three cards for each letter. There is one letter noon and the child physically moves the letter around as needed). To help the child focus on the tashkeel and how it affects the letter, they move the one card and are not distracted with seeing one letter two or three times. This also helps the child focus on correctly identifying which harakaat they need to produce the sound they have just heard. If, for example, there are already two cards showing the letter noon on the fatha and the dumma spaces and the teacher says, "Noon kesra nee", the child sees only one box available and will automatically put it there. This may not give the teacher an accurate picture of the child's level of mastery of this particular task. Having three empty boxes at all times allows the child to take time to think about which box they need to place the letter in to represent the sound they have just heard. 

Insha'Allaah, your students/children benefit and enjoy this. Before downloading this file, please take a moment to read the terms of use for this and all resources on A Muslim Child is born. Jazakum Allaahu Khayr.  The file is available for download here insha'allaah.

Quraan Centre Word Work: Surah An-Nasr Activities & Workbook

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Alhamdulillaah, this is the word work for Surah An-Nasr:

In this word work packet students have the workbook that they have become accustomed to. They also have word cards that the teacher/parent-teacher cuts in two and the students must rematch the cards to make the correct words from the Surah. There is also a flip book that is easy to assemble and comes with word cards with words from the surah and also blank word cards for teachers/parent-teachers to add more words later. With the flip book, the cards can be placed inside the book using Velcro or easy to remove tape to allow the cards to be changed easily. Students can play several games with the flip book to help them learn the words from the surah insha'allaah. There are tracing worksheets for students to practice their handwriting and more!

Download the book here insha'Allaah.

Quraan Centre Word Work: Surah Al-Masad Activities & Workbook

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Alhamdulillaah, this is this Quraan centre word work for surah Al-Masad:

In the word work for this centre, along with the shadow matching of words and the workbook, students embark on early map reading skills with another word hunt! This time, using a simple map, students explore the room looking for certain words from the surah. They are helped by pictures representing centres in the classroom (I've tried to pick centres that can also be places in the home). Students also enjoy a game of completing their ayah before their classmate. Each student gets a game board and the cards are placed face down (shuffled) between the two students. Students take turns picking a card. They must read the card accurately and if they need that card on their board they keep it and put it in its correct place. If they need the card but read it incorrectly after three tries or they cannot read it, they return the card to the bottom of the pile and the next player takes his/her turn. If they do not need the card they simply return it to the bottom of the stack. The game ends when a player accurately complete his/her board.


Students also work with the word building cards mentioned in this post. The teacher/parent-teacher cuts the cards in half, shuffles them and the students work to accurately match the cards to spell some of the words from the surah. Again, Control of Error is built into this particular exercise in the following way: when cut in half, the cards can only be reassembled with their correct match. If the student mismatches two of the cards, the rectangle they form will not be symmetrical/even. It will be either too long or too short. This helps students reconsider the two cards they have placed together and try again insha'Allaah.

Students have an opportunity to work on their handwriting with a tracing worksheet. In another worksheet, they match the words in the right column to the correct word in the left hand column. This worksheet is familiar as students have worked with this in previous suwar word work.  There is the word wheel for this surah and students also have the surah written in large print for independent reading. For this activity (the surah in large print), students use their pointers - made from Popsicle sticks with a small/medium decoration at the tip - to read the surah. Using their Popsicle stick pointer, students point to each word as they read it.

Pointers for independent reading or "Read The Room" activities

There are also selected words from the surah in large red print. These can be placed in your classroom pocket chart in the Quraan centre or used in other activities insha'Allaah.

 

Enjoy insha'Allaah!

Quraan Centre Word Work: Surah Al-Fatihah Activities and Workbook

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

This is the word work for Surah al-Fatihah:

The word work for this surah is brief. Children work with the student workbook as in the other word work files, they have a word wheel as in this post, and they have movable Arabic alphabet cards for one of the words in the surah. Students cut out the letters and move them around until they correctly spell the word. They also have the word matching worksheet as in other word work files. There is also a mini-memory game for children to take home/use at home. There are four memory cards that are blank so teachers/parent-teachers can write in words that their students/children may need extra practice with. 

There are also four word cards that teachers/parent-teachers cut in half and invite students to reassemble the words correctly. Control of Error is built into this particular exercise in the following way: when cut in half, the cards can only be reassembled with their correct match. If the student mismatches two of the cards, the rectangle they form will not be symmetrical/even. It will be either too long or too short. This helps students reconsider the two cards they have placed together and try again insha'Allaah.
