ARABIC READING PRACTICE 3

In this lesson we will continue practising joining letters and reading, In-Shā’-Allâh (God willing). We will also practice reading words with:
- /Sukūn/ – We should pronounce the letter sound with no vowel sound i.e. /Sukūn/ acts like a stop.
- /Shaddah/ – We should increase emphasis on the letter which has the /Shaddah/.
- Long vowel-marks – As we learnt in previous lessons there are 3 long vowel-marks; these lengthen the sound of the single vowel-marks.

Meaning	Final Form (i.e. how the letters will look when joined)	Changed Form (i.e. to see how each letter has changed – joined form)	Letters on their own
Mosque	مَسْجِدٌ	مَـ ـسْـ ـجِــدٌ	مَ سْ جِ دٌ
Star	نَجْمٌ	نَـ ـجْـ ـمٌ	نَ جْ مٌ
Cat	قِطٌ	قِــطٌ	قِ طٌ
Bed	سَرِيْرٌ	سَـ ـرِيْــرٌ	سَ رِ يْ رٌ
Key	مِفْتَاحٌ	مِـ ـفْــتَـ ـا حٌ	مِ فْ تَ ا حٌ
Donkey	حِمَارٌ	حِـ ـمَـ ـا رٌ	حِ مَ ا رٌ

We shall continue practising reading more words in the next lesson. Remember, the more practice you do, the better your Arabic will be Insha’Allah (God willing).
