Subject:Graded Arabic Stories for Beginners

Dear list member,
I think that reading material for advanced students of Arabic as a  
foreign language is abundant. Some good reading material is also  
available for intermediate students. However, it is very scarce for  
beginning students. I hope my new books will fill up part of this gap.  
I've written twelve graded stories for beginners following the lexical- 
structural approach. "Graded" means that both vocabulary and structure  
increase incrementally. The first story has 200 words, the last 314.  
Structure is also strictly controlled. It goes from simple structure  
to more complicated. Both vocab and structure are recycled very  
frequently. I recommend them for second semester students. Students  
who have read these stories felt encouraged because they could read  
tens of pages and understand most of it. They will be even more  
beneficial when teachers discuss them in class, a good opportunith for  
conversation. They can be bought on line through:

www.createspace.com/3387113 for sahlawayhi 1
www.createspace.com/3389737 for sahlawayhi 2
www.createspace.com/3389739 for sahlawayhi 3

Unfortunately, you must use these given numbers. Soon they will also  
be available through amazon.com, where they have author, title and  
subject search.
I hope teachers and students find them helpful and entertaining.
Best of luck.
