First, you will find a box introducing the letter, the different ways in which it can be written and the pronunciation. We also include a word in Arabic that begins with that letter and which will help to identify the letter. We indicate if this letter is a sun letter or a moon letter, which is also a feature of its pronunciation. Then, we practice writing this letter. Finally, you will find a series of exercises helping you to identify the letter visually and by sound. These exercises also develop your writing skills and your vocabulary.
