THE MADINAH MEDINAH] ARABIC COURSE FOR CHILDREN:
TEXTBOOK LEVEL THREE
This is 'Textbook Level Three' of the 7-book series 'Madinah
Arabic Course for Children' aimed for third year elementary school
children. The series contains three textbooks, three workbooks and
a calligraphy skills book. ('Arabic Calligraphy Made Easy')
It has been developed, modified, improved and tested over a
period of several years to make it as suitable as possible for
children learning Arabic for the first time (specifically
non-native speakers) and particularly for those who are just able
to recognize Arabic letters and sounds.
It is a full-color, A-4 sized book filled with pictures,
illustrations, and large sized fonts appropriate for children, as
well as extra pages for dictation at the end of the book.
Additionally, it has been printed on non-glossy paper and therefore
can be written on in pencil, and allows for easy erasing.
'Textbook Level Three' is so easy that virtually anyone with
basic Arabic skills can teach it. This is especially true for those
who have undergone Dr V. Abdur Rahim's famous 'Madinah Arabic
Course' (the adult series) or taught 'Levels One and Two' of the
Children's series.
It contains 14 chapters, and is 88 pages long.

HOW THIS BOOK WAS MADE:
This book was created with Adobe InDesign. Adobe Illustrator and
Photoshop (Middle Eastern versions) were used for the drawings,
illustrations and pictures. The document was converted into a PDF
using Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Only Traditional Arabic Bold was used which I've modified using
a font creator program; bold dark blue for captions, bold pink for
feminine verbs, bold purple for text, bold brown for examples, and
dark green for footnotes. Font size is 30 points throughout. For
page numbers I've used Simplified Arabic as I've found it to be a
bit easier to distinguish.
Thank you Shukran
