Subject:AFL Materials for k-12 query

Hello all. We are restructuring our Arabic program to be a  
profieciency-based program with communicative classes and materials.  
One of the main elements we are looking to change is the materials. We  
are using ÃÍÈ ÇáÚÑÈíÉ "Uhebbul 3arabeyya" textbooks with the middle  
school, which are ok for the time being. But if you know of any new  
textbooks available in the market that we could use, please let me  
know. Does any one have any suggestions for good materials for  
teenagers (ages 11 and up)?
I also wonder if you have any suggestions for materials for the  
preschool age. We are looking for intersting materials that focus  
solely on the aural/oral skills. Any recommended  
books/flashcards/audio-visual aids?

Finally is any one intersted in the area of CALL? We have introduced  
the computer and the Internet in our class activities and projects. If  
there's anyone intersted in this field, I would like to open channels  
of dialogue with them. Please email me at my personal email for that. I  
would also encourage those who teach K-12 to communicate more to form a  
think-tank on their programs. I believe most Arabic programs for this  
age in the US are going through the same problems, and exchanging  
thoughts and expretise will make things a lot easier for all. Thanks.
