The ultimate goal is to preserve Arabic as a living language by helping children and families integrate it into their lives so that it becomes a meaningful and loved language.

Each unit is based on a printable book/story to give learners a meaningful context and engage them into learning.
Then, the unit’s resources that go with the book/story (flashcards, worksheets, read-aloud videos, audios, games, craft ideas) make them practice the vocabulary and sentences as well as the 4 language skills (listen, speak, read and write) in order to acquire the language and give them confidence to use it.

Through our knowledge about language acquisition, our experiences as parents raising a multilingual family & using Arabic with their children from baby age, through our experiences as an adult Arabic learner (for our founder) and as an Arabic teacher (for our proofreader), we believe in a practical, whole-language exposure’s approach from the early years.
From baby age, children should be exposed to Arabic daily through play, talking to them in Arabic, rhymes, book read-alouds etc. Then, once they are ready developmentally and Arabic is part of their life, reading and writing practices can be introduced (usually around 5-7 years old but each child is different).
This would be the ideal situation and we encourage you to do so, but we know that not everyone can achieve this (especially non-native speakers) and we are here to help you get closer to it!
We design our resources to help you incorporate Arabic into your children/students’ life, make them live and love Arabic and make them practice the 4 language skills through topics inspired by kids and real life.
Arabic Seeds has been founded by a non-native speaker who knows the struggles of finding adapted resources and of learning Arabic as an adult. That’s why, we create resources with special features for non-native speakers:
However, we recommend that you, at least, know how to read and write in Arabic as well as some basic grammar.
But we suggest that our resources are most suitable for children from 3 to 8 years old. They may be suitable for older beginner children as well. And many non-native speaking parents have reported to us that they are also learning alongside their children.
For instance, a 3 year-old won’t be requested to read our books or other texts, or write sentences, but the teaching will be done through read-alouds of our books by the parent/teacher, playing with our flashcards and talking, watching our short videos (listen & repeat), tracing/colouring letters and words (simple worksheets), and integrating what has been learned in real-life. Later on, the teacher/parent can go back to the same resources when the child is older in order to review what has been learned and to involve him/her in more challenging activities.
Our resources does not include Arabic grammar lessons, but they expose young children to the whole language (which includes grammar structures, full sentences and vocabulary) so that young learners feel confident and understand the language before they reach the age of “strict” grammar lessons.
We want our platform to be a safe space for our young members. That’s why our website and resources do not contain any ads and music.
We also filter and manually approve comments posted in our membership pages so that our website’s content stay safe and appropriate for children.
