About Marhaba!

 "Students shine as their diverse learning styles are taken into
 consideration and they are given flexibility that helps them build knowledge
 and develop language learning skills."
  – Dora Johnson and Nancy Rhodes, Center for Applied Linguistics,
 Washington, DC

   Marhaba!, an innovative student-centered and standards-based Arabic
 curriculum, brings this rich and challenging language to life. Lesson and
 activity guides allow educators to help students create personalized
 textbooks called Daftars, a process that encourages them to take ownership
 of their own learning.

ABOUT SMALL WONDERS

  Small Wonders is a new series of graded readers created by professionals
 especially for learners of Arabic. Beautifully illustrated in full color,
 the  series is particularly appropriate for learners in grades 3-9 and
 heritage environments.  Older learners can also find these readers useful
 and attractive.

 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 in Level 1, and introducing more sophisticated language and content in
 Levels 2 and 3.  The vocabulary is cumulative at each level and listed in a
 glossary.

 Each book includes cultural information and interesting facts, with stunning
 images to provide context and visual stimulation.  In addition, the content
 of Small Wonders is aligned with US National Science Education Standards.
 This correlation allows students to connect the material with content from
 other classes, reinforcing both their Arabic reading comprehension skills
 and their knowledge of the subject matter

 On the companion website www.arabicsmallwonders.com<http://www.arabicsmallwonders.com>, series users will
 also find full-text audio recordings for each book, as well as many other
 downloadable resources for students, teachers, and parents.
