N° 01What we make

Arabic resources for the youngest learners.

01

Letter books

One spread per letter: its sound, its forms at the start, middle and end of a word, tracing paths and a picture word children know.

02

Arabic activity books

Matching, mazes, colouring and dot-to-dot built around Arabic letters and vocabulary, sequenced across the school year.

03

Short readers

Levelled first readers with fully vowelled text, repeated sentence patterns and illustrations that carry the meaning.

04

Vocabulary books

Themed picture dictionaries (family, home, food, animals, school, weather) for the words your curriculum introduces each term.

05

Bilingual Arabic-English

Side-by-side or flip editions for classrooms where Arabic is a second language, and for families reading at home.

06

Home reading packs

Take-home books and activity sheets so parents who don't read Arabic can still support practice.

N° 02For non-native classrooms

Designed for children learning Arabic.

Most early-years Arabic material is written for native speakers. Children in international schools need something different: more pictures, fewer words per page, repeated patterns and vocabulary they can use straight away. We plan each book around that learner.

We also produce native-speaker editions. A school with both streams can have two sets sharing the same characters, so the whole year group feels part of one programme.

N° 03Typesetting that holds

Right-to-left, done properly.

Arabic in children's books goes wrong in small ways: disconnected letters, missing vowel marks, awkward line breaks and English layouts mirrored badly. We set Arabic in clear, child-friendly typefaces with full tashkeel where needed, and your Arabic team signs off every page before print.

N° 04Alongside your core books

A supplement to the prescribed textbook.

Where a curriculum prescribes the core Arabic textbook, our books sit alongside it as readers, practice books and reading-corner titles. They give teachers more time on the letters and words children struggle with, and give inspectors and parents something children plainly enjoy.

What every package covers, and what it doesn't

What you get

  • Design, illustration and Arabic typesetting within the page caps
  • Files you own and can print as often as you like
  • Content planned from the scheme of work you send

What we don’t do

  • Printing, binding or shipping (files go to your printer)
  • Replacing a prescribed core textbook or ministry approval
  • Writing the Arabic curriculum from nothing; your Arabic team approves all text
  • Audio, apps or interactive digital versions
  • Extra pages or readers beyond the cap (quoted separately)

Native-speaker and non-native editions of the same book count as two books.

N° 06Questions

The answers we give most often.

Who writes the Arabic text?
Your Arabic department provides or approves the words, and we can draft simple texts from your vocabulary lists for their review. Nothing goes to print without their sign-off.
Can books be bilingual?
Yes, either side-by-side on each page or as flip books with Arabic from one cover and English from the other.
Do the books follow a set curriculum?
They follow yours. Send us your Arabic scheme of work, letter order and termly vocabulary, and every page is planned from it.
What about Islamic content?
Pages can include everyday Islamic greetings, manners and occasions where your school wants them, or stay purely language-focused. Tell us what fits your classrooms.
How long does it take?
A single book usually takes five to seven weeks from approved page plan. Plan a year programme one term ahead of the start of the academic year.
