About Arabic by Roots
Arabic by Roots teaches non-Arabic-speaking children to read Arabic through root families. Instead of random word lists, every lesson is built around one Arabic root (such as ق ر أ — to read). The child meets the same root again and again: in single words, in word breakdowns, in sentences, in a paragraph, in a short story, in comprehension questions, in dictation and in a reading test. The root is the memory hook; the story is the heart of the lesson.
Lessons use full vowel marks (tashkeel), the teacher's own recorded voice on every word and sentence, gentle Islamic-friendly visuals, and a Translate button on every page — Arabic first, support when needed.
The goal: confident reading, joyful learning, and Qur'an-reading readiness — وَنَحْمَدُ اللهَ عَلى نِعْمَةِ العِلْمِ.

One root. One lesson. Seven steps.
The fixed lesson order keeps every child oriented — only the root changes each lesson.
Who is behind Arabic by Roots?
Arabic by Roots is built and maintained by a Muslim educator who teaches children to read Arabic. The method grew out of real lessons with real children: every lesson is hand-built around one Arabic root, and every word is recorded in the teacher's own voice — no synthetic audio.
The program is free, has no accounts and collects no personal data. It exists so that any family, anywhere, can help their children learn to read the language of the Qur'an.
