when alif wears a hat

by mayG on July 23rd, 2010

The big school ticker is relentlessly ticking away and I have to say I am getting a bit stressed about how little time we have left to get the two of us through the Summer Challenge as an accomplished reader and a successful teacher.. The good news is, our lesson plans say we will be moving on to simple sentences pretty soon.. phew!

So Mahnoor was told when Alif wears his “mudh” hat, its “a” sound turns into a long “aa” sound. A concept she took to rather comfortably (thankgod!) and managed to read words like
آپا – aapa
آجا – aaja
آتا – aata (with the soft “t” sound)
آنا – aana
آپ aap
آج aaj
آن aan

On a separate note, I have started work on the printable worksheets and am really excited about letting Mahnoor use them tomorrow :)

    i liked the “hat” thingy! i am currently teaching my 8 yrs old to read urdu, i never started with urdu before cuz i had started arabic and didnt want to confuse him with both urdu and arabic at the same time! he is picking up real quick, but the thing that surprised me most is that my 5 yrs old, whom i hv not started with urdu yet, is picking up a lot by observing him, so i introduced the madd to my 5 yr old as a hat! she found it pretty cool!
