Arabic script might seem complex and intricate at first but it is written by following a simple system. Each of the Arabic 28 letters is written in different formations. These formations reflect the position of the letter: in isolation, at the beginning of a word, the middle of a word or the end of a word.
The Write and Wipe Arabic Alphabet Flashcards from WordUnited illustrate how to write Arabic by following an easy three-step system:
- start by tracing the letter with the help of numbered directional arrows,
- progress by tracing the letter without the support of arrows, and
- attempt to write the letter independently with the help of the prompt.
Videos freely available on our website show how to correctly write each letter.
