From the company that brought you the invaluable Islamic educational tool of The Alim comes another software learning product designed to teach Quranic Arabic reading to all ages. The Arabic Playhouse takes a step-by-step approach in guiding the user through the different levels of learning to read Quranic Arabic. Through the use of pictures, this educational software even lets the preschooler who is learning to read click their way to Arabic reading.
With the ease of using a mouse, the student can review the Arabic Alphabet, advance to letter sounds with punctuation, and even view the different shapes of Arabic letters as they are found in the Holy Quran. Once the individual has mastered these concepts, they can progress to letter sounds with connecting punctuation and exercises that test on the Quranic Arabic reading concepts learnt to that point. Finally, Arabic Playhouse offers thirteen Quranic Surahs to practice reading with word translation as well as Ayah meanings.
On top of the thorough coverage of Quranic Arabic reading essentials, Arabic Playhouse enables the student to learn at their own pace. Most of the categories (Letters, Sounds, Shapes, Connect Letters) let the user graduate to higher levels of difficulty once the basic concepts of that module are mastered. Each section also offers three approaches to learning: the pupil can either choose what material to learn, let the software act as a teacher, or go into quiz mode.
Offered with such a wide variety of approaches to learning Quranic Arabic, what more can a student ask for? Arabic Playhouse breaks through the barriers of monotony by presenting to students of all ages colorful, easy-to-understand screens with friendly narration. But most importantly, individuals can learn proper pronunciation of Quranic Arabic through Arabic Playhouse's Hafiz.
Whether a Muslim of 60 years or a 5-year old Muslima, Arabic Playhouse is the revolutionary, technological choice of ease for today's Quranic Arabic student!
