All-Inclusive Program Price

When you purchase this program you pay one price that includes everything. That means lesson manuals, textbooks, workbooks, software, supplemental materials, even shipping & handling* (within the continental US and Canada, additional shipping fees may be charged for overseas orders). One price, that's all you pay and you get everything you need to educate your child.

Sibling Course Option

If you will be purchasing the same curriculum level for more than one child, we offer the Sibling Course option (see pricing at the top of the page). With this option you pay a discounted price for the second child's curriculum and receive an additional set of all consumable materials (i.e. workbooks, grading sheets and lesson manuals). Your children will share all non-consumable materials (i.e. textbooks, CD's and Qur'aan) that come as part of the full program purchased for the first child.

Reusing the Course

If you want to reuse the course with a second child after your first child has completed it, you can simply purchase the Sibling Course and you will receive a second set of all consumable materials (workbooks, Mini Tafseer Books, etc.) that can be used with the non-consumable textbooks, flashcards, and software that you purchased for your first child. This means you only pay the full price of the program for your first child, and every child after that will get the discounted Sibling Course price.

Continuing Course Option

If you have previously purchased the Level ALP full course for your child, you will want to purchase the Continuing Course for Level A (see top of page). The Arabic Playhouse CD used in Level ALP and Level A is the same. Therefor by purchasing the Continuing Course option you will receive all the Level A program materials minus the Arabic Playhouse CD which you already received as part of the Level ALP supplies.

Purchasing the Program, Easy as 1-2-3!

If you would like to purchase this level of the program for your child, please complete the following three step process. These steps will help you decide if your child is ready for the curriculum and if the curriculum meets your needs/expectations, insha-Allah. If after completing these three steps, you decide you want to purchase the curriculum, simply click on the "add to cart" button at the top of the page to place your order.

Step 1: Complete the Skills Assessment

Ad-Duha is dedicated to providing students with the Islamic Studies & Arabic level that is best for them. Therefore we have provided the following Skills Assessment (to be completed before ordering materials) to help you decide if this level of the curriculum is right for your child.

In order to do well in this level of the program your child should have completed the ALP Program OR have all of the following skills in order to do well in this level of the program:

• Can stay on task for 30 minutes or longer (for example when playing a game, cleaning up toys or looking at a book).
• Can read and write the entire Arabic alphabet.
• Can read and write Arabic numbers 1-10 (at least, 1-100 is preferred)
• Can give the meanings of at least 5 Arabic words from the Qur'aan (for example shams, naas, rasool, etc.).
• Can color staying in the lines without scribbling.
• Can complete arts and crafts activities independently that involve cutting, pasting, etc.
• Has memorized at least the last 10 surwaar in Juz 'Amma (30th Part of the Qur'aan) and can recite them clearly without assistance.
• Has memorized at least 10 daily ad'iyaa (i.e. eating drinking, sneezing, etc.) and can recite them clearly without assistance.
• Has had some exposure to the Tafseer of the suwaar and the meanings of the ad'iyaa (this is preferred but not required).

How to evaluate your child's performance:

• If your child cannot complete all the items on this assessment, we recommend you purchase the ALP Program first.
• If your child can complete all items on the assessment, then he is ready to enter Level A of the Program.
• If your child can do more than this assessment covers (for example writing short ayaat or memorizing more than 1/2 of Juz 'Ama) move on to Level B.

The stories follow Imaan and her grandson Ibraheem as they grow together in their love of Allah and each other.

NEW! To augment the Ibraheem & Imaan books we have included the Al-Asmaa' Ul-Husnaa Coloring Book featuring coloring pages to correspond with each name of Allah taught in this level of the program. Each coloring page offers students the opportunity to express their artistic ability, while at the same time reinforcing the lesson objects. The Arabic script used is specially formatted to tie in the lessons from the Arabic Workbook as well.
