إِلَى الْأَطْفَالِ بِجُمْهُورِيَّةِ مِصْرَ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ.. إِلَى مُعَلِّمِي وَمُعَلِّمَاتِ مِصْرَ.. إِلَى الْأُسَرِ الْمِصْرِيَّةِ.. إِلَى كُلِّ مَنْ يُعَلِّمُ وَيَتَعَلَّمُ.

(from previous page) ⟵ The student's weapon to the children in the Arab Republic of Egypt.. to the male and female teachers of Egypt.. to the Egyptian families.. to everyone who teaches and learns.

عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ الْحَبِيبَةِ، تَمَّ تَصْمِيمُ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ؛ لِيَكُونَ عَوْنًا حَقِيقِيًّا لَكُمْ جَمِيعًا. أَوَّلًا: الْجَانِبُ التَّرْبَوِيُّ.

On the land of beloved Egypt, this book was designed to be a true aid to you all.

حَرَصْنَا عَلَى أَنْ يَتَضَمَّنَ هَذَا الْكِتَابُ - وَعَلَى مَدَى الْأَعْوَامِ الدِّرَاسِيَّةِ السِّتَّةِ - مَجْمُوعَةً مُنْتَقَاةً مِنَ الْقِيَمِ الْأَخْلَاقِيَّةِ وَالْمَهَارَاتِ الْحَيَاتِيَّةِ الَّتِي تَدْعَمُ الْأُسَرَ الْمِصْرِيَّةَ فِي تَنْشِئَةِ أَبْنَائِهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ؛

We have been keen for this book to include - throughout the six academic years - a selected group of moral values and life skills that support Egyptian families in raising their sons and daughters.

فَقَدْ تَضَمَّنَ هَذَا الْكِتَابُ قِيَمَ الصِّدْقِ، وَالتَّعَاطُفِ، وَالِاحْتِرَامِ وَحُبَّ الْعَائِلَةِ وَالِاعْتِزَازَ بِلُغَتِنَا وَهُوِيَّتِنَا.

This book has included the values of honesty, empathy, respect, love for the family, and pride in our language and identity.

سَتَجِدُونَ مَوْضُوعَاتٍ عَنِ الْإِصْرَارِ عَلَى النَّجَاحِ، وَعَنِ الْمِهَنِ الْمِصْرِيَّةِ الشَّرِيفَةِ، وَأَصْحَابِهَا الْأَبْطَالِ الْأَخْفِيَاءِ، وَعَنْ قِيمَةِ الْمُسَاعَدَةِ وَفَوَائِدِهَا عَلَى الْفَرْدِ وَالْمُجْتَمَعِ، وَقِيمَةِ وَأَهَمِّيَّةِ وَطَنِنَا الْغَالِي مِصْرَ؛ تَأْكِيدًا عَلَى ارْتِبَاطِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ بِوَطَنِهِمْ وَقِيَمِهِمُ الْأَصِيلَةِ.

You will find topics about persistence for success, about honorable Egyptian professions and their hidden hero owners, and about the value of assistance and its benefits to the individual and society, and the value and importance of our dear homeland Egypt; emphasizing the connection of Egyptians to their homeland and their authentic values.

وَفِي نَفْسِ السِّيَاقِ، حِرْصًا عَلَى جَعْلِ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ مَدْخَلًا لِتَوْطِيدِ الْعَلَاقَاتِ الْإِيجَابِيَّةِ بَيْنَ الْأُسَرِ الْمِصْرِيَّةِ وَأَطْفَالِهَا، أَضَفْنَا فِي نِهَايَةِ كُلِّ وَحْدَةٍ دِرَاسِيَّةٍ قِصَّةً لِلْقِرَاءَةِ فَقَطْ تَحْتَ عُنْوَانِ «اقْرَأْ مَعَ الْأُسْرَةِ».

In the same context, and to make this book an entry point for strengthening positive relationships between Egyptian families and their children, we added at the end of each academic unit a story for reading only under the title 'Read with the Family'.

تَذَكَّرُوا أَنَّ هَدَفَ هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ لَيْسَ اجْتِيَازَ أَيِّ اخْتِبَارٍ، وَإِنَّمَا هَدَفُهَا أَنْ تَقْرَءُوهَا مَعَ أَطْفَالِكُمْ قَبْلَ النَّوْمِ أَوْ فِي يَوْمِ الْإِجَازَةِ؛ لِخَلْقِ وَقْتٍ إِيجَابِيٍّ بَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَيِّ ضُغُوطٍ.

Remember that the goal of this story is not to pass any test, but its goal is for you to read it with your children before sleep or on a holiday; to create positive time away from any pressures.

لَقَدْ حَاوَلْنَا أَنْ نَجْعَلَ الْمُجْتَمَعَ الْمِصْرِيَّ الثَّرِيَّ بِتَنَوُّعِهِ مُمَثَّلًا بِمُخْتَلَفِ أَشْكَالِهِ وَسِمَاتِهِ وَأَنْ يَرَى كُلُّ طِفْلٍ أَوْ طِفْلَةٍ نَفْسَهُ أَوْ نَفْسَهَا أَوْ مَنْ يُشْبِهُهُمَا مَوْجُودًا بِشَكْلٍ أَوْ بِآخَرَ.. آمِلِينَ أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا الْكِتَابُ أَدَاةَ عَوْنٍ لِكُلِّ مُرَبٍّ وَمُرَبِّيَةٍ فِي مِصْرِنَا الْحَبِيبَةِ. ثَانِيًا: الْجَانِبُ التَّعْلِيمِيُّ وَاللُّغَوِيُّ:

We have tried to make the Egyptian society, rich in its diversity, represented in its various forms and features, and for every child to see himself or herself or someone who resembles them present in one way or another.. hoping that this book will be a tool of aid for every educator in our beloved Egypt.

فِي مَرْحَلَةِ إِعْدَادِ الْكِتَابِ تَمَّ الرُّجُوعُ إِلَى الْأَبْحَاثِ الْعِلْمِيَّةِ وَالْمُمَارَسَاتِ النَّاجِحَةِ كَمَا حَرَصْنَا عَلَى الِاسْتِرْشَادِ بِآرَاءِ السَّادَةِ الْمُعَلِّمِينَ حَوْلَ الْمُشْكِلَاتِ الَّتِي تُوَاجِهُهُمْ،

In the stage of preparing the book, scientific research and successful practices were referred to, and we were keen to be guided by the opinions of the teachers regarding the problems they face.

كَمَا حَرَصْنَا عَلَى تَخْفِيفِ الْعِبْءِ عَنْهُمْ مِنْ خِلَالِ تَعْزِيزِ اسْتِقْلَالِيَّةِ الْمُتَعَلِّمِ، وَقَدْ حَرَصْنَا أَيْضًا عَلَى اسْتِخْدَامِ الْمُفْرَدَاتِ الْبَسِيطَةِ سَهْلَةِ الْفَهْمِ، وَالْمُلَائِمَةِ لِلْمَرْحَلَةِ الْعُمْرِيَّةِ لِلْأَطْفَالِ، وَمِنْ عَالَمِهِمْ وَاهْتِمَامَاتِهِمْ، وَذَلِكَ دُونَ تَفْرِيطٍ فِي الْحَصِيلَةِ اللُّغَوِيَّةِ الَّتِي يَجِبُ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَهَا الْأَطْفَالُ.

We were also keen to lighten the burden on them by strengthening the learner's independence, and we were also keen to use simple vocabulary that is easy to understand, suitable for the children's age stage, and from their world and interests, without neglecting the linguistic stock that children must learn.

وَلِأَنَّنَا فِي جَمِيعِ مَرَاحِلِ تَأْلِيفِ الْكِتَابِ وَمُنْذُ اللَّحْظَةِ الْأُولَى كَانَ مِيثَاقُنَا أَنْ نَضَعَ الْمُتَعَلِّمَ فِي قَلْبِ الْعَمَلِيَّةِ التَّعْلِيمِيَّةِ وَمِحْوَرِهَا، فَقَدْ حَرَصْنَا بِقَدْرِ الْإِمْكَانِ عَلَى مُخَاطَبَةِ الْأَطْفَالِ بِشَكْلٍ مُبَاشِرٍ، وَجَعْلِهِمُ الْبَطَلَ الرَّئِيسَ لِلْكِتَابِ.

Because in all stages of authoring the book and since the first moment our charter was to place the learner in the heart of the educational process and its axis, we were keen as much as possible to address children directly, and make them the main hero of the book.

كَمَا أَضَفْنَا فِي كُلِّ دَرْسٍ جُزْءًا خَاصًّا بِـ «رِحْلَتِي مَعَ الدَّرْسِ» إِيمَانًا مِنَّا بِالْفُرُوقِ الْفَرْدِيَّةِ الَّتِي هِيَ جُزْءٌ مِنْ عَمَلِيَّةِ التَّعَلُّمِ.

We also added in every lesson a special part for 'My Journey with the Lesson' believing in individual differences which are part of the learning process.

كَمَا حَرَصْنَا عَلَى جَعْلِ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ كِتَابًا مُتَكَامِلًا وَافِيَ الشَّرْحِ وَالتَّدْرِيبَاتِ يَسْتَطِيعُ الْمُتَعَلِّمُ الِاعْتِمَادَ عَلَيْهِ تَمَامًا فِي الِاسْتِذْكَارِ؛ حَيْثُ تَمَّ تَضْمِينُ الْكَلِمَاتِ الْجَدِيدَةِ بِأَلْوَانٍ مُمَيَّزَةٍ لِتُيَسِّرَ عَلَى الْمُتَعَلِّمِ مُلَاحَظَتَهَا وَفَهْمَهَا.

We were also keen to make this book a complete book with full explanation and exercises that the learner can rely on completely in studying; where new words were included in distinct colors to facilitate the learner's noticing and understanding them.

وَتَيْسِيرًا عَلَى الْمُتَعَلِّمِ، تَمَّ تَقْسِيمُ الدُّرُوسِ إِلَى أَقْسَامٍ وَاضِحَةٍ مِثْلَ الْقِرَاءَةِ، وَالْأَسَالِيبِ وَالتَّرَاكِيبِ وَالْأَنَاشِيدِ وَالْقَوَاعِدِ الْإِمْلَائِيَّةِ، وَالْخَطِّ الْعَرَبِيِّ وَمُرَاعَاةِ مُعَالَجَةِ الْأَخْطَاءِ الْإِمْلَائِيَّةِ الشَّائِعَةِ؛ حَتَّى يَتَفَادَاهَا الْأَطْفَالُ.

To facilitate for the learner, the lessons were divided into clear sections such as reading, styles and structures, chants, spelling rules, Arabic calligraphy, and considering the treatment of common spelling errors; so that children avoid them.

كَمَا تَمَّ تَضْمِينُ نُصُوصِ الِاسْتِمَاعِ فِي آخِرِ الْكِتَابِ لِلرُّجُوعِ إِلَيْهَا عِنْدَ الْحَاجَةِ.

Listening texts were also included at the end of the book to refer to when needed.

وَفِيمَا يَخُصُّ مَهَارَاتِ اللُّغَةِ، وَلِتَنْشِئَةِ جِيلٍ مِنْ أَطْفَالِ مِصْرَ قَادِرِينَ عَلَى التَّعْبِيرِ عَنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ بِاسْتِخْدَامِ لُغَتِهِمْ بِإِتْقَانٍ، مُعْتَزِّينَ بِهَا وَبِتَارِيخِهَا قَادِرِينَ عَلَى الِاخْتِلَافِ وَالِاتِّفَاقِ بِاحْتِرَامٍ وَضَعْنَا الْعَدِيدَ مِنَ التَّدْرِيبَاتِ لِتَنْمِيَةِ مَهَارَاتِ اللُّغَةِ الْأَرْبَعِ: الِاسْتِمَاعِ وَالتَّحَدُّثِ وَالْقِرَاءَةِ وَالْكِتَابَةِ.

Regarding language skills, and to raise a generation of Egyptian children capable of expressing themselves using their language with mastery, proud of it and its history, capable of disagreement and agreement with respect, we placed many exercises to develop the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

آمِلِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِنَا، أَنْ يُسَاعِدَ هَذَا الْكِتَابُ فِي تَرْبِيَةِ رُوحِ حُبِّ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ وَالِاعْتِزَازِ بِهَا بَيْنَكُمْ، وَأَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا الْكِتَابُ خُطْوَةً إِيجَابِيَّةً فِي رِحْلَتِكُمْ فِي التَّعَلُّمِ.

Hoping from all our hearts that this book will help in raising the spirit of 'love for the Arabic language and pride in it' among you, and that this book will be a positive step in your journey in learning.
