I learned an Arabic alphabet song years ago that was to the tune of  
the English alphabet song (also "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"), with  
the same format, that went like this:I

ا ب ت ث ج ح خ
د ذ ر ز س ش ص
ض ط ظ ع غ ف ق
  ك ل م ن ه و ي
هذه حروف الهجاء
  نحن الان نعرفها

Not authentically Arab, culturally speaking, but can be useful for  
those adult learners mentioned previously.

Best regards,
Jackie Murgida

Dear Ben
All points you mentioned are really valid unless in the case of some  
heritage students to whom Ola has referred. This is why I developed my  
own non nationalistic, non religious Alphabet program targeting  
adults, which the American University in Cairo  is in the process of  
publishing online soon. Once the online materials are out there for  
public use I shall email the link to you and any other teacher or  
learner who is interested in learning the alphabet in an innovative  
way. It will also be of great help to hear your feedback on the  
materials for improvement of the program.
Best wishes
Iman
