Arabic Alphabet Basics
28 Letters
The Arabic alphabet consists of 28 consonant letters. Short vowels are indicated by diacritical marks (harakat) above or below letters.
Right-to-Left
Arabic is read and written from right to left. Letters connect to each other in cursive script, forming fluid words.
Four Letter Forms
Most letters have four shapes — isolated, initial, medial, and final — depending on where they appear in a word.
How Amal Teaches the Arabic Alphabet
Letter Recognition & Sounds
Children learn each of the 28 letters individually — seeing the letter, hearing its sound, and practising pronunciation with AI feedback that corrects letter-by-letter.
Writing Practice
Interactive tracing activities teach children how to write each letter in all four forms, building muscle memory for Arabic handwriting.
Letters to Words
Once children know individual letters, Amal progressively introduces letter combinations, syllables, and simple words — building toward reading fluency.
10,000+ Words
The full Amal curriculum includes over 10,000 Arabic words and 100,000+ educational elements, taking children from the alphabet to confident reading.
