Workbook — Session 43: Days of the Week

🟢 1. Today's letter — ي (ya)

Trace each ya. It sits like a little smile with two dots underneath.

Now try writing one by yourself:

Big ya! Don't forget the two dots underneath:

Tip: every single day of the week starts with the word يَوم — so ya is everywhere today.

🟡 2. Find the ya

Circle every word that has the letter ي (ya) in it:

Hint: four of them have a ya. One of them has TWO ya's!

🟠 3. I can read these words

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

After you read them, tell a grown-up: "Yesterday was ___. Today is ___. Tomorrow is ___." Use English for the day name if you need to — we're getting there.

🟣 4. Put the days in order

Number the days 1 through 7, starting with Sunday = 1 (that's how the Arabic week is counted!).

Fun fact: الإِثنَين comes from the number 2, الثُّلاثاء from 3, الأَربعاء from 4, الخَميس from 5. The days literally count themselves!

🔵 5. Draw your week

Draw something you do on your favorite day of the week. Write the Arabic day name under your drawing.

My favorite day in Arabic:  ________________________

What I do on that day:  ____________________________

🌟 6. Mini-challenge (optional stretch)

Fill in this little sentence about your real week. Use Arabic for the days if you can!

Example: Today is يَوم الثُّلاثاء. Yesterday was يَوم الإِثنَين. Tomorrow is يَوم الأَربعاء.

Now say the whole sentence out loud to someone in your house. Watch their face. 😄

📝 Tonight's home practice (1 minute)

Tonight at dinner, ask one person in your family: "What day is it today?" Then answer them in Arabic.

Bonus: every day this week, when you wake up, whisper to yourself:

Bring this workbook back next session.
