🟢 1. Today's letter — و (waw)

Trace each waw. Start at the top with a little round head. Then pull the tail down and curve it.

Now try writing one by yourself:

Big waw! Make it huge — really swoop that tail:

Fun fact: waw all by itself means and (وَ). One little letter, one big job.

🟡 2. Find the waw

Circle every word that has the letter و (waw) in it:

Hint: look carefully — waw can be hiding in the middle of a word too.

🟠 3. I can read these words

Read these three story-words out loud. Point to each one as you say it:

These are your story-builder words. Every story starts with one of them.

🟣 4. Put the story in order

A story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Draw a line from each Arabic word to where it belongs in a story:

🔵 5. Draw your tiny story

Draw three pictures — your own 3-part story. Anything you want! A cat on a balcony. A trip to the mountains. A snack you ate.

Now tell your story out loud to someone. Use the three words at the top of each box!

🌟 6. Mini-challenge (optional stretch)

Try writing one sentence of your story in Arabic. Use a word you already know.

Example:

Your turn:

Don't worry about spelling. Just try. Squiggles count.

📝 Tonight's home practice (2 minutes)

Tell your 3-sentence story to someone at home tonight — a parent, a sibling, a grandparent on the phone. Use the three story words.

Ask them to tell YOU a tiny story back. Stories go both ways.
