Focus on phonetics: UAE school scheme making Arabic easier to learn set to be expanded

A project in Ras Al Khaimah focusing on phonetics over traditional grammar is helping kids learn Arabic faster. The Iqra programme boosted reading progress by 25% and will expand to all private schools there in September. It addresses the gap between spoken and Modern Standard Arabic, and works for both native and non-native speakers within regular school hours. https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/uae/2026/05/22/ras-al-khaimah-classroom-scheme-to-make-arabic-easier-to-learn-will-be-expanded/

Finally! My kids struggle with fus7a because they speak dialect at home. Hope this spreads to Abu Dhabi.

MashaAllah, 25% is huge. Phonics just makes sense, especially for non-native kids like mine.

My daughter used to cry before Arabic class. Now she actually enjoys it. More schools need this!
