Sitting with Adab (الجلوس بأدب)

Level: Beginner · Arabic root: ج ل س

Students will read and use six simple words around the root j-l-s, understand the basic meaning of sitting, and practice short sentences with good manners.

Key vocabulary:

• جَلَسَ — sat
• يَجْلِسُ — he sits
• جَالِسٌ — sitting
• مَجْلِسٌ — a sitting place or gathering
• كُرْسِيٌّ — a chair
• طَالِبٌ — a student

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.
