I love the stencil idea! Also, I have found that my students understand
better if I use the word "template" instead of "pattern."

What about inverting the model of Arabic traditional morphology ?
          Pattern+Root    instead of   Root+Pattern

Recently, I published  a paper with the following title:
*"Pattern-and-root inflectional morphology: the Arabic broken plural"*  in
Language Sciences Journal, November 2013, (
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0388000113000685). My new
approach is not root-and-pattern as in traditional morphology but the other
way round. This approach is a modified version of the  traditional
morphology.

This modified  approach was designed mainly to put some order in  the messy
linguistic data used in  Arabic Language Processing and not for Teaching
Arabic as Foreign Language. But maybe, it gives you some new insights for
teaching.

Bests,
