A simple and essential English teaching guide for those wanting to understand/teach punctuation and grammar for years 1-6 (not intended as a replacement for English teaching resources).
This teacher’s reference includes ‘word types’ with the definition and an example for each one. You will also find a spelling list per year in shaa Allaah.
Also included is a reading book example for year/grade 1 (one of which is highlighted where the punctuation rules have been used for that year).
A set of illustrated Arabic puzzles with the English translation to help your child learn new vocabulary. Can also be used with the Madinah Arabic collection of books.
This resource idea is such a fun way to introduce spelling and reading. Whether it’s a child’s name, a new word or maybe even a word that your child is struggling to learn.
I actually made this resource quite some time ago and have shared it with mothers with children learning to read and write/spell and they have benefitted greatly alhamdolillah. I use it for my preschoolers too which they love. We usually begin with this resource before any language activity as a fun and refreshing way to start a lesson. You can do the same approach with any language too.
What I love about this resource is that it allows your child to explore different skills. And by using their name as a starting point, they’re more likely to enjoy writing, spelling and reading etc long-term since it has a personal touch.
I find it also helps to use this same approach when introducing new words, for example the word ‘hat’; let your child use this approach i.e spell, match, trace and write ‘hat’ if you run out of ideas.
