Series goals and components
The goal of the "I Love Arabic Curriculum" series is to enable the student’s verbal and written communication skills in Arabic. To achieve this goal, the series provides the student with educational materials that help them to use the classical language from the start, while also creating an opportunity to use what is learned in real-life situations.

While this series is directed at non-native speaking children between the ages of 4 and 12, it is also useful in teaching Arab children all over the world.

This series consists of six levels each containing three books. They are::

1. Student’s Book.
2. Student's Workbook.

The linguistic content:
The series displays the vocal system of the Arabic language in its different phenomena. It presents vocabularies that are common in an Arabic dictionary for children. It also features 4,300 words and it concentrates on pictorial concrete vocabulary in the first two books.
The series provides the student with a number of basic linguistic structures (about 500 structures). Each lesson contains a specific number of structures and expressions. The lessons gradually advance and each principle is revisited from one lesson to the next.
