What is Arabic Letters about?
Arabic Letters is an Islamic learning game for children aged 4 to 7 that teaches the 28 letters of the Arabic alphabet, their sounds and their shapes, as a first step towards reading the Qur'an.
Children hear each letter spoken clearly, trace it with a finger, and then find it hiding in a word or a picture. As they progress, they learn how letters change shape at the start, middle and end of a word, and they collect a star for every letter they master.
The game practises letter recognition, pronunciation and handwriting in short rounds that fit a young child's attention. There are no ads and no in-app purchases, and parents can see which letters their child has learned.
