The Syrian Arabic curriculum, free to read online
The official Arabic-language curriculum of the Syrian Ministry of Education — fifteen books covering Grade 2 through Grade 10 (2025–26 editions): reading passages, poetry, grammar (قواعد) and composition, exactly as taught in Syrian classrooms. Read every page free with tables, harakat and translation.
Everything on every page
- ✦Full harakat — every page fully vowelled (tashkeel/diacritics), so you never guess pronunciation.
- ✦Verb conjugation tables — past (الماضي), present (المضارع), imperative (الأمر) and verbal noun (المصدر) for every verb on the page.
- ✦Noun tables — singular, plural and contextual English meaning.
- ✦Line-by-line English translation — rendered beside the Arabic.
- ✦Example sentences — three verified sentences for vocabulary words.
- ✦Flashcards — auto-generated from each page's vocabulary — Arabic ↔ English.
Why study a native-speaker curriculum?
National curricula are the most authentic graded Arabic there is. The Syrian series is particularly strong on قواعد (grammar) and classical poetry — and with every verb conjugated and every line translated beside the original, it becomes climbable for serious learners anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Syrian Arabic curriculum free to read here?
Yes — every page of every grade is free to read with no sign-up. The study layer (verb & noun tables, translation, flashcards) is free for the first 20 pages of each book; a subscription unlocks it everywhere.
Is this useful for non-native Arabic learners?
Very. National curricula are what native-speaker children learn from — graded, authentic Modern Standard Arabic. With the verb tables, harakat and line-by-line English added, advanced learners can climb the same ladder.
Where do the books come from?
These are the Syrian Ministry of Education's official textbooks, freely published on the Ministry's curriculum platform (curricula.moed.gov.sy); our contribution is the study layer built on every page.
