- write Surah alkawthar and alkafiroon one word on a line and list all reading rules of that word. 
- Also summarize the rule from page 55 in your own words!
- is hamzatul was related to this rule in any way?
- how will u apply this rule if a word tanween comes right before a word whose first letter has a shaddah (there is an example (or two) of such word on page 55)
 
Using Grammar, vocabulary and sentence structure, write following in Arabic 
  1. You (female) are in the house.

Reading Rules fast track practice [br Mashhood]
Reading Rules sheet - We reviewed Tanween, confirmed homework was done correctly, did some cross questioning and moved on to next set of rules
  • What NEW did we learn about long vowels last week? we learnt that Long Vowels are long only
    • if Alif has nothing on it - no hamza, no sukoon, no short vowel (harakah)
    • if wow and yaa have nothing or just sukoon on them
    • in every other situation, long vowels do not play the role of long vowels anymore! 
  • Please remember long vowels have a big impact - there are four/five more reading rules attached with them hence this review is needed
    1. what goes on the letter before the long vowel letter?
    2. how about if long vowel letters have a short vowel on them - long vowel must be treated as a letter regardless of its location in the word
    3. how about if long vowel letters have sukoon or hamza on them
    4. Rule 4: how about if long vowel letters come next to each other [park this for now - until next week]

Important Notes 

If you need help with letters orientation on the line, please use this video 
Only use lined pages for your home work since many of you need help writing on the line. Watch this video and remember that generally:  
    • all Arabic letters with tummy must use space below the line in the full form (end form). letters such as ( ن ل ق ض ص س ش ج ح خ ع غ ي )
    • all flat stretched letters must stay above the line - in all forms. letters such as (ب ت ث ف )
    • Alif, daal and zhaal (  ا د  ) always remain above the line in all forms 
    • wow ( و ) always remain half above the line and half below in all forms
    • all tall letters ( ك ط ظ ا ل ) always remain above the line and consume as much of the vertical space between two lines on a lined paper
    • Raa and zaa ( ر ز ) may remain below the line in the full form (end form)
    • Hamza ( ء ) remains/sticks on alif or on a cup holder, seldom does it show up by itself (and usually that happens when it is at the end of a word) 
    • shape shifting letter ha ( ه ) has 3 or 4 middle forms 

Home works were collected.  Please be aware that

  • Home work counts for 40% of your grade
  • attendance counts 20%
  • Final exams counts 40%
  • there is also extra credit here and there!
