Subject:Teaching the Arabic Alphabet

I have found the Sesame Street (Iftah ya-Simsim) alphabet song a  
tremendous help for learning the sequence of the alphabet.

As to the actual letters, it depends on the educational level of the  
students. For university level students, learning the whole alphabet  
and the vowels in in one go should be no problem; for lower-level  
students you could follow the approach of teaching a few letters and  
using only words which use those letters for one lesson, then starting  
the next with some new letters, as for example Mastering Arabic by  
Jane Wightwick and Mahmoud Gaafar does.

Kind regards,
Tressy Arts
