What is Fun Words: Tableware about?
Fun Words: Tableware is an interactive word book for children aged 4 to 9 in which they discover the names of the things we eat and drink from, in English, in Arabic, or in both.
The cover is laid like a table: a green cup, a spotted teapot, a blue polka-dot bowl, a glass of milk and a small fork. These are things children see at every meal, which makes their names easy to remember and easy to use.
Children choose English, Arabic or both. For each item they listen to how its name is pronounced, then use the microphone to record themselves saying it, play it back and compare. Hearing a word, saying it and hearing themselves say it helps children get the sounds right.
Mealtimes are a natural time to practise. A child who has learned the Arabic word for a cup or a bowl can use it the same day, at breakfast or at dinner. For children learning Arabic, the language of the Qur'an, everyday words like these build confidence one small step at a time.
Parents can bring the book to the table: while laying it, ask your child to name each thing in English and then in Arabic, and let them test you too. Fun Words is a Miraj original.
