إِلَى الْأَطْفَالِ بِجُمْهُورِيَّةِ مِصْرَ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ.. إِلَى مُعَلِّمِي وَمُعَلِّمَاتِ مِصْرَ.. إِلَى الْأُسَرِ الْمِصْرِيَّةِ.. إِلَى كُلِّ مَنْ يُعَلِّمُ وَيَتَعَلَّمُ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ الْحَبِيبَةِ تَمَّ تَصْمِيمُ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ؛ لِيَكُونَ عَوْنًا حَقِيقِيًّا لَكُمْ جَمِيعًا. أَوَّلًا: الْجَانِبُ التَّرْبَوِيُّ:

To the children of the Arab Republic of Egypt.. to the teachers of Egypt.. to the Egyptian families.. to everyone who teaches and learns on the land of beloved Egypt, this book was designed to be a true help 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 قِيمَةَ الصِّدْقِ، وَالتَّعَاطُفِ، وَالِاحْتِرَامِ، وَحُبَّ الْعَائِلَةِ وَالِاعْتِزَازَ بِلُغَتِنَا وَهَوِيَّتِنَا.

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

سَتَجِدُونَ فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ مَوْضُوعَاتٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ الْمُدُنِ وَالْمَعَالِمِ الْمِصْرِيَّةِ مِثْلَ وَاحَةِ سِيوَةَ، وَالْمُتْحَفِ الْمِصْرِيِّ الْكَبِيرِ،

You will find in this book topics about some Egyptian cities and landmarks such as the Siwa Oasis and the Grand Egyptian Museum.

وَكَذَلِكَ سَتَجِدُونَ مَوْضُوعَاتٍ عَنِ الْمَدْرَسَةِ وَالْعِلْمِ وَالْمُسْتَقْبَلِ وَعَنْ بَعْضِ الْقِيَمِ مِثْلِ يَقَظَةِ الضَّمِيرِ وَالْإِصْرَارِ عَلَى النَّجَاحِ،

You will also find topics about school, science, the future, and some values such as alertness of conscience and persistence in success.

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 «عَوْدَةٌ لِلْقِرَاءَةِ مَعَ الْأُسْرَةِ».

In the same context - out of a desire 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 'A Return to Reading 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 rather 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.

وَقَدْ رَاعَيْنَا تَقْدِيمَ نَمَاذِجَ مِنَ الْعُلَمَاءِ الْعَرَبِ الَّذِينَ أَثَّرُوا فِي بِنَاءِ النَّهْضَةِ الْعِلْمِيَّةِ وَالْحَضَارِيَّةِ الْعَالَمِيَّةِ الْحَدِيثَةِ؛ لِيَشْعُرَ الْمُتَعَلِّمُ بِالْفَخْرِ بِالْحَضَارَةِ الَّتِي يَنْتَمِي إِلَيْهَا، وَتَكُونَ دَافِعًا لَهُ لِلِاقْتِدَاءِ بِهِمْ فِي التَّفَوُّقِ فِي الْمَجَالَاتِ الْعِلْمِيَّةِ وَالْأَدَبِيَّةِ الْمُخْتَلِفَةِ.

We have considered presenting models of Arab scientists who influenced the building of the modern global scientific and civilizational renaissance, so that the learner feels proud of the civilization to which they belong, and it serves as a motive for them to emulate them in excelling in various scientific and literary fields.

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 traits, and for every child to see themselves or someone who resembles them present in one way or another.. hoping that this book will be a tool of help 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 كَمَا حَرَصْنَا عَلَى تَخْفِيفِ الْعِبْءِ عَنْهُمْ مِنْ خِلَالِ تَعْزِيزِ اسْتِقْلَالِيَّةِ الْمُتَعَلِّمِ،

In the stage of preparing the book, we returned to scientific research and successful practices, and we were keen to seek the guidance of the teachers regarding the problems they face, and we were keen to lighten the burden on them by strengthening the learner's independence.

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 use simple vocabulary that is easy to understand and appropriate 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 we, in all stages of writing the book and since the first moment, had a charter to place the learner at the heart of the educational process and its axis, we were keen as much as possible to address the children directly and make them the main hero of the book.

كَمَا أَضَفْنَا فِي نِهَايَةِ كُلِّ دَرْسٍ جُزْءًا خَاصًّا بِعُنْوَانِ «أَصْنَعُ قَامُوسِي» إِيمَانًا مِنَّا بِالْفُرُوقِ الْفَرْدِيَّةِ الَّتِي هِيَ جُزْءٌ مِنْ عَمَلِيَّةِ التَّعَلُّمِ.

We also added at the end of each lesson a special part titled 'I Make My Dictionary' out of our belief 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 observation and understanding of them.

وَتَيْسِيرًا عَلَى الْمُتَعَلِّمِ، تَمَّ تَقْسِيمُ الدُّرُوسِ إِلَى أَقْسَامٍ وَاضِحَةٍ مِثْلَ: الْقِرَاءَةِ، وَالْقَوَاعِدِ النَّحْوِيَّةِ وَالنُّصُوصِ الشِّعْرِيَّةِ، 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, grammatical rules, poetic texts, 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، بِالْإِضَافَةِ إِلَى مَهَارَاتِ الْعَرْضِ وَإِبْدَاءِ الرَّأْيِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ مَعَ الْآخَرِينَ بِشَكْلٍ مَوْضُوعِيٍّ وَمُهَذَّبٍ.

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 have placed many exercises to develop the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, in addition to presentation skills and expressing opinions in their conversation with others in an objective and polite manner.

وَلِتَطْبِيقِ تَمَّ تَضْمِينُ «بِطَاقَةِ الشُّكْرِ وَالتَّقْيِيمِ» الَّتِي صُمِّمَتْ بِشَكْلٍ عِلْمِيٍّ لِعَرْضِ الرَّأْيِ مِنْ خِلَالِ ثَلَاثِ مَرَاحِلَ؛ تَبْدَأُ بِشُكْرِ الزَّمِيلِ عَلَى الْعَرْضِ، ثُمَّ ذِكْرِ الْإِيجَابِيَّاتِ، وَالِانْتِقَالِ إِلَى تَحْدِيدِ النِّقَاطِ الْمُقْتَرَحِ تَطْوِيرُهَا.

For application, the 'Thank You and Evaluation Card' was included, which was designed scientifically to present opinions through three stages; starting with thanking the colleague for the presentation, then mentioning the positives, and moving to identifying the points suggested for development.

كَمَا تَمَّ الْحِرْصُ عَلَى تَنَوُّعِ الْأَنْشِطَةِ مِنْ خِلَالِ الْأَنْشِطَةِ الْفَرْدِيَّةِ، وَالثُّنَائِيَّةِ، ثُمَّ الْعَمَلِ فِي مَجْمُوعَاتٍ مَعَ تَحْدِيدِ الْأَدْوَارِ فِي الْعَرْضِ وَالنِّقَاشِ.

Keenness was also shown for the diversity of activities through individual, pair, and then group work with defining roles in presentation and discussion.

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 of learning.
