🟢 1. Letter review — write your favorites
Today is a review day — no new letter! Pick three letters you already know and write each one three times. Show off your best ones.
| Letter 1 | Letter 2 | Letter 3 |
|---|---|---|
Which one feels easiest now? Circle it. Which one is still tricky? Put a little star ⭐ next to it.
🟡 2. Find the letters — teta hunt
Look at the word تيتا (teta). It has the letter ت in it — twice!
Circle every word below that has a ت in it:
تيتا حِكاية بَيتي كُك اِشتَقتِلَّك قَعَدنا
Hint: four of them have a ت somewhere. Look carefully — sometimes it's at the start, sometimes hiding in the middle.
🟠 3. I can read these words
Read these three words out loud. Point to each one as you say it. These are all things at teta's house today:
| Picture | Arabic | Say it |
|---|---|---|
| 👵 | تيتا |
te-ta |
| 🍪 | كُك |
kuk |
| 📖 | حِكاية |
hi-ka-yeh |
After you read them, tell a grown-up: "I just read three Arabic words!"
🟣 4. Match what happens at teta's house
Draw a line from each Arabic phrase to the picture that matches.
| Arabic | What it means | |
|---|---|---|
اِشتَقتِلَّك |
─ → | 🫖 We sat together |
أُكِل بَيتي |
─ → | 🤗 I missed you |
قَعَدنا |
─ → | 🥘 Homemade food |
كُك |
─ → | 🍪 Cake / cookie |
🔵 5. Draw teta's house
Draw something you would see at your grandma's house — or at the grandma in our story today. Maybe a teapot, a plate of cookies, a balcony, a couch with too many pillows.

One Arabic word for something in my picture: ________________
🌟 6. Mini-challenge (optional stretch)
Build a tiny sentence about visiting teta. Fill in the blanks:
قَعَدنا عِند تيتا وَأَكَلنا _________ .
(We sat at teta's and we ate _________ .)
What did you eat? Write the Arabic word if you know it (كُك? أُكِل بَيتي?) or write it in English. Either way counts!
My answer: ________________________________
📝 Tonight's home practice (1 minute)
Call, video-chat, or talk to a grandparent, auntie, uncle, or older family friend tonight. Say one Arabic phrase to them.
| I said this... | ...to this person | They said... |
|---|---|---|
_____________ |
_________________ | _________________ |
Try اِشتَقتِلَّك (to a man) or اِشتَقتِلِّك (to a woman). They might cry a little. That's okay.
