وَقَدْ تَنَوَّعَتِ النُّصُوصُ بَيْنَ آيَاتٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ الْكَرِيمِ، وَأَحَادِيثَ نَبَوِيَّةٍ شَرِيفَةٍ، وَأَبْيَاتٍ شِعْرِيَّةٍ مُخْتَارَةٍ، وَنُصُوصٍ نَثْرِيَّةٍ مِنْ مَجَالَاتٍ مَعْرِفِيَّةٍ مُتَعَدِّدَةٍ، تَحْقِيقًا لِلتَّنَوُّعِ الثَّقَافِيِّ وَاللُّغَوِيِّ، وَتَحْفِيزًا لِلْقِرَاءَةِ الْمُتَعَمِّقَةِ وَالتَّذَوُّقِ الْأَدَبِيِّ.

The texts have varied between verses from the Noble Quran, noble prophetic hadiths, selected poetic verses, and prose texts from multiple cognitive fields, to achieve cultural and linguistic diversity, and to stimulate in-depth reading and literary appreciation.

وَفِي نِهَايَةِ كُلِّ وَحْدَةٍ، تُقَدَّمُ وَقْفَةُ اسْتِمَاعٍ تُعَزِّزُ مَهَارَاتِ الْفَهْمِ السَّمْعِيِّ وَالتَّلَقِّي الْوَاعِي، يَتْبَعُهَا تَطْبِيقٌ شَامِلٌ يَتَمَثَّلُ فِي نَصٍّ خَارِجِيٍّ مِنْ مَجَالِ الْوَحْدَةِ، تُوضَعُ عَلَيْهِ أَسْئِلَةٌ تَقْوِيمِيَّةٌ لِقِيَاسِ مَدَى اكْتِسَابِ الْمُتَعَلِّمِ لِلْمَهَارَاتِ الْمُسْتَهْدَفَةِ.

At the end of each unit, a listening session is presented that strengthens auditory comprehension and conscious reception skills, followed by a comprehensive application represented by an external text from the unit's field, on which evaluative questions are placed to measure the extent of the learner's acquisition of the targeted skills.

وَقَدِ الْتَزَمَ الْكِتَابُ مَنْهَجًا قَائِمًا عَلَى الْمَعَايِيرِ فِي تَنْظِيمِ الْمُحْتَوَى الدِّرَاسِيِّ، مُسْتَنِدًا إِلَى نَوَاتِجِ التَّعَلُّمِ الْمُسْتَهْدَفَةِ؛ وَهِيَ مَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَعْرِفَهُ الْمُتَعَلِّمُ، وَيَكُونَ قَادِرًا عَلَى أَدَائِهِ وَإِنْجَازِهِ فِي نِهَايَةِ دِرَاسَتِهِ لِلْمُقَرَّرِ الدِّرَاسِيِّ، بِمَا يَكْفُلُ تَمَكُّنَهُ مِنْ اسْتِيفَاءِ مُتَطَلَّبَاتِ الْمُجْتَمَعِ وَالْمُسَاهَمَةِ فِي تَطْوِيرِهِ، فِي ظِلِّ الْمُتَغَيِّرَاتِ الْمُسْتَقْبَلِيَّةِ وَمَهَارَاتِهَا الْمُتَطَوِّرَةِ.

The book has committed to a curriculum based on standards in organizing academic content, relying on targeted learning outcomes; which is what the learner should know, and be capable of performing and achieving at the end of his study of the academic course, in a way that ensures his ability to fulfill society's requirements and contribute to its development, in light of future variables and their advanced skills.

كَمَا رُتِّبَتِ الْمَفَاهِيمُ وَالْمَهَارَاتُ بِصُورَةٍ تَرَاكُمِيَّةٍ مُتَدَرِّجَةٍ، مِنَ الْفَهْمِ الْجُزْئِيِّ إِلَى الْفَهْمِ الشَّامِلِ، وَفْقَ هَرَمِ بِلُومٍ لِمُسْتَوَيَاتِ التَّفْكِيرِ، دَعْمًا لِلتَّعَلُّمِ الْعَمِيقِ وَالْبِنَائِيِّ.

Concepts and skills have also been arranged in a cumulative, gradual manner, from partial understanding to comprehensive understanding, according to Bloom's taxonomy for levels of thinking, in support of deep and constructive learning.

وَإِدْرَاكًا لِطَبِيعَةِ الْعَمَلِ التَّرْبَوِيِّ وَمَا يَتَطَلَّبُهُ مِنْ تَطْوِيرٍ مُسْتَمِرٍّ، فَإِنَّنَا نُثَمِّنُ أَيَّ مَلْحُوظَاتٍ بَنَّاءَةٍ تُسْهِمُ فِي تَحْسِينِ هَذَا الْجُهْدِ، وَنُعَوِّلُ عَلَى خِبْرَاتِ الْمَيْدَانِ التَّعْلِيمِيِّ فِي تَعْزِيزِ الْكِتَابِ وَتَجْوِيدِهِ، فَالْمُعَلِّمُ شَرِيكٌ أَصِيلٌ فِي بِنَاءِ الْمُحْتَوَى، وَأَقْدَرُ النَّاسِ عَلَى التَّوْجِيهِ وَالتَّطْوِيرِ.

Realizing the nature of educational work and what it requires in terms of continuous development, we value any constructive notes that contribute to improving this effort, and we rely on the experiences of the educational field in strengthening and refining the book, for the teacher is an authentic partner in building content, and the most capable of people in guidance and development.

وَإِذْ نُقَدِّمُ هَذَا الْعَمَلَ؛ فَإِنَّنَا نَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ مُعِينًا لِلْمُعَلِّمِينَ وَالْمُعَلِّمَاتِ فِي أَدَاءِ رِسَالَتِهِمْ، وَرَفِيقًا لِلطَّلَبَةِ فِي رِحْلَتِهِمْ مَعَ لُغَتِهِمْ، وَسَنَدًا فِي تَطْوِيرِ تَعْلِيمِ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ وَتَعْزِيزِ حُضُورِهَا فِي نُفُوسِ أَبْنَائِنَا وَبَنَاتِنَا.

As we present this work, we hope it will be a helper to male and female teachers in performing their mission, a companion to students in their journey with their language, and a support in developing the teaching of the Arabic language and strengthening its presence in the souls of our sons and daughters.

وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّ التَّوْفِيقِ.

And Allah is the Guardian of success.
