First Readings: Set 3

This set introduces learners to special ligatures (like لا) and different Arabic writing styles, helping them become familiar with how letters connect and change shape—especially in handwriting. It's ideal for readers who want to improve their real-world reading skills by learning how Arabic actually looks in everyday use.

This set tackles topics such as Lebanon’s plurilingual education system, democracy and dictatorship in the Arab world and beyond, and children and their relationship with technology; and each word comes with Levantine Arabic transcription and full English translation.
