Free Class 1 Arabic Literacy Worksheet - Adding Definite Article Al- & Solar/Lunar Lam Identification

Strengthen your student's spelling and diacritic rules with our Adding Definite Article & Identifying Lam worksheet! Specifically designed for Class 1 learners, this printable resource focuses on transforming indefinite nouns into definite nouns by adding الـ and observing the changes in diacritics and pronunciation.

Worksheet 2 in the "Al-Shamsiyah & Al-Qamariyah Mastery" series challenges students to add الـ to nouns like مَدْرَسَة (school) and تُفَّاح (apple). Students practice removing Tanween, placing Sukoon on Lunar Lam (e.g., الْمَدْرَسَةُ) or adding Shaddah after Solar Lam (e.g., التُّفَّاحُ), and ticking whether the result is Solar or Lunar.

Key Benefits of This Arabic Grammar Worksheet:

• Definite Article Rules: Teaches the fundamental rule that Tanween disappears when الـ is attached.
• Diacritic Adjustment: Reinforces placing Sukoon on Qamariyah Lam and Shaddah on the letter following Shamsiyah Lam.
• Active Writing Practice: Guided writing lines build confidence in connecting الـ to base nouns.
• Phonemic Mastery: Solidifies proper reading and vocalization habits in Grade 1 Arabic.

Instructions for Parents & Teachers:

1. Read the Base Word: Have the student read the indefinite word with Tanween (e.g., زَهْرَةٌ).
2. Add "الـ": Guide the student to attach الـ to the start of the word and replace Tanween with a single Harakah (e.g., الزَّهْرَةُ).
3. Check the Type: Ask them to pronounce the new word and tick the box for ☀️ (Shamsiyah) or 🌙 (Qamariyah).
