Quran reading with Stoppers (and Reading Rules) [Sr Roza/br Mashhood]

We worked on reading the verses 11-20 of surah Baqarah (assigned as homework) using the stoppers.  Students did good work, we didn't apply reading rules yet

Homework is  to prepare verses 11 - 20 this week complete with all the reading rules you have learnt so far.  We will review them together

Vocabulary page / Arabic reading using Madinah book [br Adam/br Mashhood]

Students were tortured using first box of vocabulary words (assigned as homework).  Students responded to translating Arabic words and then translating to Arabic words when asked in English

Homework is  to memorize the 3rd box of words (interrogative pronouns - how what where when) as we will continue making sentences 

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] 
5. Rule 5: difficult words involving long vowel letters [park this for now - until next week]  

Homework is  to refresh these rules so we can practice them together next week.  Start on surah Quraysh to practice your reading rules!  in your green book, it is page 65 I believe
