/pages/handwriting-arabic-curriculumsIn order to develop linguistic and expressive skills in children, there need to be a variety of exercises to engage the child and help nurture the required skills. Teaching reading, vocabulary and grammar, as many curriculums do, is not enough to develop writing abilities, so additional exercises are needed to cultivate the skill of expressive writing in students. These books set out to do just that, using a large number of exercises to develop the skills of writing and composition in children in the primary levels.

The books contain pictured exercises on writing and composition; children can sort words in sentences or write about picture stories, they can fill in the blanks with the suitable words, or they can rearrange sentences to make paragraphs. Exercises are arranged in three stages over three different books, all with colorful images to attract children.

This three-book series contains varied and progressive exercises to teach guided- and free-composition, as well as functional writing so students can communicate with others in their daily lives. Some of the writing exercises the series focused on:

• Arranging words to make sentences
• Arranging sentences to write a story
• Connecting clauses with matching images
• Filling in the blanks in a story or text
• Describing images and commenting on them
• Writing a story using images and helping words
• Filling in forms and applications with appropriate information
• Writing paragraphs and using punctuation marks
• Writing memos for personal correspondence
• Editing speeches
• Practicing congratulating messages for different occasions
• Writing diary entries
• Writing open compositions on various subjects and occasions
