Bismillah ,

Assalam u alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

This Hajj (day by day) lapbook was pending since a long time , but now alhamdulAllah , we have made it.

Oh nooo! Sorry did I tell you that Allah SWT has invited us to His House this year , inshAllah. Yes . inshAllah , we would be leaving on 7th Zilhajj night from Jeddah. AlhamdulAllah , it was one of my dreams to perform Hajj with my child. Summa AlhamdullAllah Allah SWT has given a chance to us . I have always wanted my child to know what we are going through. Subhana has already known the names of rituals and places during Hajj. Lets see when she will see live Hajj inshAllah!

Book 3: Allah Created Me ! ( Islamic Preschool Curriculum )

Bismillah ,

Assalam u alaikum warahamatullahi wabarakatuh ,

The third book for Islamic preschool curriculum is " Allah Created Me!"

In this book , a child is taught the purpose of a human creation on this earth. Subhana already knew that ALLAH made trees , sea , mountains etc but for her the words "me" and "you" were different. I let her to ponder that her baba , her mama and her are also created by Allah. After doing some talks , she told me that she has a stuff baby named as "summayya" is also created by Allah. She likes to listen the creations of Allah no matter how much i repeat them. AlhamdulAllah , from this I have learned that really every human born in this world has innate nature of fitrah.Every child who enters this world is by default Muslim. SubhanAllah.

Activities related to the workbook " Allah Created Me":

We also did a small book named Al Musawwir ( Allah - The Shape Maker) designed by Talibedeen Jr.

We pasted objects which are made by Allah and made by a man. At first , Subhana was poiting that everything is created by Allah , because she was told so . But now this was the time to move on . I explained to her in her own language that indeed everything is made by Allah but after that a man has used those things to make more objects of use. After practicing this concept , she understood very well. AlhamdulAllah.

Lapbook : Learning to read and write through Progressive Phonics

Bismillah ,

Assalam u alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh ,

At last , alhamdulAllah the day has arrived to post on blog . I got busy in last two weeks in preparing resources . Anyways , I will rewind from the very fresh piece of project we have just started and that's making a lap book on three letter CVC words based on progressive phonics. Well , alhamdulAllah today subhana was in keen interest to practice the letters d , o and g. We are following from the very start of alphabetti section. They have lots of books freely downloadable. I invested so much time that through which resource , I should introduce reading and handwriting actually to my child. I chose progressive phonics. It has well explained books, they teach letters through shapes. For example : letter d can be formed by joining a ball and a stick. Letter 'o' as a ball. My child got easily and was desperate to practice it again and again in her own way. They have also provided activities , flash cards and much much more . Before starting this project , I was thinking that my child is just 2.7 months , may be it would be hard for to read and write at this age , but believe me , QadarAllah mashAllah, she has welcomed to learn more and more . You see , this is the homeschooling benefit that a homeschooled child is never meant to be pressurized . He  she learns in his / her own style. And guess what ? We started doing this labpook after dinner , she was quite active mashAllah and fresh too.

Below are the pictures of the lapbook , sorry for the pictures which are inverted ( there is some problem with my camera) . As for handwriting , am linient , we are just practicing in rough and then she will fill the handwriting activity book , inshAllah.
