🟢 1. Today's letter — ز (zay)

Trace each zay. Start at the top left. Curve down like a little smile, then add the dot on top.

Now try writing one by yourself. Don't forget the dot!

Big zay! Make it huge (and put a big fat dot on top):

Tip: ز looks a lot like ر (ra), but ز has a dot. One little dot changes the whole letter!

🟡 2. Find the zay

Circle every word that has the letter ز (zay) in it:

Hint: two of these fruits have a zay hiding in them.

🟠 3. I can read these words

Read these three fruits out loud. Point to each one as you say it:

After you read them, ask a grown-up: "Which one is your favorite?"

🟣 4. Match the fruit to its name

Draw a line from each fruit on the left to its Arabic name on the right.

Pomegranate (رُمَّان) is the big red one with the ruby seeds inside. Teta might call it the queen of fruits.

🔵 5. Draw your fruit bowl

Draw a bowl with three of your favorite fruits in it. Label each one in Arabic if you can!

Three fruits in my bowl:

1. ________________   2. ________________   3. ________________

🌟 6. Mini-challenge (optional stretch)

Did you know زَبيب (raisins) are just dried عِنَب (grapes)? Same fruit, two names!

Can you think of other fruits that change names when they dry? Ask a grown-up:

Bonus: both of these dried-fruit answers start with the letter ز. Sneaky!

📝 Tonight's home practice (1 minute)

Go to the kitchen. Find one fruit. Say its Arabic name out loud to someone in your family.

If you can't find a fresh one, look in the pantry — زَبيب? تين? Both count!

Bring this workbook back next session.
