Eating with Good Manners (آدَابُ الْأَكْلِ)

Level: Beginner · Arabic root: أ ك ل

Students learn six daily words from and around the root meaning 'to eat', read a true report from the life of the Prophet Muhammad, and practice correct meal manners in simple Arabic.

Key vocabulary:

• أَكَلَ — he ate
• يَأْكُلُ — he eats
• كُلْ — eat
• أَكْلٌ — eating
• طَعَامٌ — food
• صَحْفَةٌ — a serving dish

Your child practises: reading fully vowelled Arabic words (with tashkeel); breaking words into syllables; reading complete sentences and a short story; verb conjugation; comprehension questions and practice games; dictation and handwriting copywork; meeting the root in a Qur'an verse — with the teacher's own recorded voice on every word.
