🟢 1. Today's letter — ل (lam)
Trace each lam. Start at the top. Pull straight down, then curve at the bottom like a little hook.
Now try writing one by yourself:
Big lam! Make it huge — really stretch that hook:
🟡 2. Find the lam
Circle every word that has the letter ل (lam) in it:
وَلَد كِتاب لَيل قَلَم بَيت شَجَر
Hint: lam shows up a LOT in Arabic. Look carefully — it might be at the beginning, middle, or end.
How many did you circle? ______
🟠 3. I can read these words
Read these three words out loud. They each have only three letters. Point to each one as you say it:
| Picture | Arabic | Say it | Means |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🏠 | بَيت |
bayt | house |
| 👦 | وَلَد |
wa-lad | boy |
| 🌙 | لَيل |
layl | night |
Read all three one more time, a little faster. You just read three whole Arabic words! 🎉
🟣 4. Match the word to the picture
Draw a line from each Arabic word on the right to its picture on the left.
| Picture | Word | |
|---|---|---|
| 📖 Book | ─ → | بِنت |
| ✏️ Pen | ─ → | كِتاب |
| 🌳 Tree | ─ → | قَلَم |
| 👧 Girl | ─ → | شَجَر |
Tip: count the letters. They're almost all three!
🔵 5. Draw it
Pick ONE word from today and draw it. Write the Arabic word under your drawing.

🌟 6. Mini-challenge (optional stretch)
Three-letter words are like LEGO bricks — small but everywhere. Can you find the lam inside these longer words too?
Now try writing one of them yourself, copying letter by letter:
Bonus: can you point to the lam in your own word? Circle it.
📝 Tonight's home practice (1 minute)
Walk around your home tonight. Find ONE of today's words in real life — a real house, a real book, a real pen, a real tree out the window. Say the Arabic word out loud when you find it.
| The word I said | What I found | Where I was |
|---|---|---|
