Hi, everyone,

A great series to help with reading comprehension is the newly published
Small Wonders Series, available from Cheng & Tsui.

Small Wonders is a new series of graded readers created by professionals
specially 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 will 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 Level 2 and Level 3. Key words from earlier levels are often reused in
more advanced books, improving students' vocabulary retension.

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.

I would like to recommend the series of books for teaching Arabic from
Albujayra publishers.
You can see sample pages at kutub.albujayra.com
The Ash-shalal method corresponds to the B1 level according to the Common
European Framework of Reference for Languages, which is close to the
upper-intermediate level.
You can make your orders and have special discounts at orders at albujayra.com.
