Teach the root n-z-r through natural everyday uses of nazara, yanzuru, unzur, nazrah, manzar, nazzarah, minzar, and intazara.

Key vocabulary:

• نَظَرَ — he looked
• يَنْظُرُ — he looks
• اُنْظُرْ — look
• نَظْرَةٌ — a look; a glance
• مَنْظَرٌ — a view; a scene

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.
