Let the fun begin with I-Spy Arabic Letters!—a playful children’s book that introduces the Arabic alphabet through a delightful I-Spy game!
Each letter is featured next to a unique, adorable illustration that provides memory cues by combining Arabic phonics and familiar English words, like “Alif” for Elephant and “Taa” for Turkey.
Kids will love searching for five “Alifs” cleverly hidden at an elephant’s lively birthday party or spotting five “Taas” in an optics store where a turkey is shopping for new glasses.
This interactive and unique approach to bilingual learning, not only helps children recognize and remember Arabic letters but also strengthens their focus, observation skills, and early literacy by connecting sounds and words across languages.

Growing up in Saudi Arabia, where Arabic was the predominant language, learning the Arabic alphabet came naturally to me. The language surrounded me – from street signs to store names – making it easy to pick up.
However, as a parent raising my kids in the USA, I noticed that their lives were dominated by the English language – from books to TV shows. I realized that learning Arabic letters would require a more intentional approach. Drawing on my passion for teaching and creative learning, I developed a unique method to introduce Arabic letters to my children.
By leveraging their existing English knowledge, I created engaging mnemonics and mini stories that connected Arabic letter shapes to familiar concepts. These stories helped my kids associate the letters with memorable characters and events, making it easier for them to recognize and read Arabic script.
Following the success of my first book, “The Enchanted Fair,” which introduced these innovative stories, I have created “I-Spy Arabic Letters” – an interactive activity book designed to make learning the Arabic alphabet a fun and immersive experience. I’m excited to share this engaging resource with you and your family!

This book is an excellent learning resource for those that are beginning to learn how to read Arabic. My daughter was struggling with Arabic and she found this learning method so helpful for her. She particularly loved the unique learning format which reveals a cute descriptive story with memory joggers to help her recollection of the alphabet and their sounds. The colorful imagery and playful phonetic correlations made learning Arabic fun, simple and easy to remember! It is evident that so much love, thought, and dedication has been put into the creation of this book and what a valuable resource it will be for anyone that is looking to learn Arabic
I wish I had this book when I was a kid! It certainly would’ve made learning Arabic letters fun and easy for me. I cannot recommend enough. The author is a great story teller and understands what kids respond to!
Whenever my daughter gets stuck on one of the letters, jeem, ha, kha... I find myself trying to jog her memory with the tools in the book ! (jellybean, cap, etc) 😊
That's how I know this is so promising
My daughter has a book that teaches letters but each page has a picture of the item and the word in Arabic, but since she doesn't speak/understand Arabic, it doesn't help her much 😬 But since this book has the English words, that made the difference!
I went over the pages with my daughter and not only were they very helpful for her, she also enjoyed it!
Because learning Arabic was becoming difficult for her, she was losing interest...but she was so eager in looking at the pictures and learning from that.
The pictures themselves were great visual aids for her!
