What is Fun Words: Fruits about?
Fun Words: Fruits is an interactive word book for children aged 4 to 9 in which they discover fruits from around the world and learn their names in English, in Arabic, or in both.
The cover is a fruit bowl of colour: a spiky pineapple, a yellow banana, a round orange, a red strawberry and a kiwi cut in half to show its green inside. Fruit is something children see, hold and eat every day, which makes these some of the most useful words they can learn.
Children choose English, Arabic or both. For each fruit they listen to how its name is pronounced, then use the microphone to record themselves saying it, play it back and compare. The more they listen and repeat, the easier the words become.
Because fruit is part of everyday life, children can practise their new words straight away: at breakfast, in the kitchen or at the shops. For children learning Arabic, the language of the Qur'an, it is a simple and practical way to build their vocabulary.
Parents can carry the game on after the screen is off. Hold up a piece of fruit at snack time and ask for its name in English, then in Arabic. Fun Words is a Miraj original, and the series has more books of everyday words to explore.
