Important Notes
If you need help with letters orientation on the line, please use this videoOnly 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
