Collins Arabic Big Cat is a guided reading series for ages 3 to 11.
The series is structured with reference to the learning progression
of Arabic at nursery and primary schools researched especially for
Collins. This carefully graded approach allows children to build up
their reading knowledge of Arabic step by step. Level 12 books
feature greater use of literary language and more unusual and
challenging vocabulary. Play scripts also feature from Level 12.
Non-fiction titles contain longer, more formal sentences and a wide
range of unfamiliar terms. Sentences become longer with greater use
of conjunctions and relative clauses. Grammatical vowel endings are
more evident to encourage fluent reading and to provide familiarity
with some higher-level features of written Arabic. Renowned author
and artist Ros Asquith has written and illustrated this gently
humorous story of Firaas the Hippo who longs to play the cello.
Children can follow his trek through the wild, wet jungle as he
searches for a teacher who won't roar, snort, growl or hiss at him!
The beautifully detailed illustrations of jungle and animals offer
lots of discussion points, and there is a two page final spread
showing numbered vignettes from the story to help recap and retell.
