Subject:best books for Middle/High School students

I have taught Arabic at both Middle & High School (currently I teach at the HS level). The books I like the most is Alif Baa & Al Kitaab. The new edition of Alif Baa (3rd ) is full of great material and you can easily adapt it to your student’s needs at the middle school – and you might not need any other books.
For HS , I start with Alif Baa & continue with Al kitaab. Again, I really like many of the new features in the 3rd edition. For all levels, I adapt it to my students’ needs & pace of learning.
Another great resource is the Marhaba curriculum  by Steven Berbeco. I strongly recommend that you check it out. The beauty of it is that you easily adapt it to your needs & your desired outcomes. I understand that it will be launched at the upcoming ACTFL meeting (Nov 17 – 20). If you google Marhaba you will be able to have all the info you need. I can reassure you that your middle school students would love many of its features.

I am sure there are other good books too but the ones above are the ones I have had much success with. As always, you must supplement with other material.
Good luck with your search!
