Small Wonders Level 1: The Hand

Small Wonders is a series of graded Arabic readers particularly appropriate for learners in grades 3–9 and heritage environments. The Hand explores topics like the many bones of the human hand and wrist, what muscles control movement of the fingers, what is special about the palm, and why the number five is significant in Islam and Judaism. The Hand is conveniently available for purchase in packs of five.

The Hand is written specially to suit the Arabic language and includes cultural information and interesting facts, all beautifully illustrated to help provide context and visual stimulation. The vocabulary and grammar are very carefully controlled to suit the level of the learner, starting with short simple sentences and the most common words for beginning readers.
