Bayt Al-Quran: Noorani Qaida-Lesson#13|Monday
Learning the Letters كَ and لَ with Fathah Vowel
In a quiet corner of the Arabic Alphabet Town, two letters lived side by side—Kaaf (ك) and Laam (ل).
Kaaf was the artist of the town. With a curve like a crescent moon and a mysterious little hand reaching out, Kaaf loved to paint stars on the sky every night. His tail always curled with excitement, especially when he was about to begin something new.
“Curves are where the magic begins,” Kaaf would say, leaving a trail of stardust behind him.
Laam, on the other hand, was the gentle lighthouse. She stood tall and graceful, like a candle flame flickering steadily in the wind. Her straight back and reaching arm made her the one everyone looked to when they felt lost.
“Let there be light,” Laam whispered as she helped words glow with meaning. Children loved how she stood in the middle of so many Arabic words—like Allah (اللّٰه)—always bringing a sense of direction and calm.
One day, the teacher of the Alphabet Town called all the letters together and said,
“It's time for the next Noorani lesson. Kaaf and Laam, it's your turn to shine.”
Kaaf swirled into position with a giggle. Laam stood firm beside him, smiling warmly. Together, they made the words dance and the sounds come alive. The other letters clapped in excitement—because when Kaaf and Laam worked together, the words looked beautiful and sounded powerful.
In this lesson, dear students, you’ll get to know Kaaf and Laam with Teacher Noura just like the people of Alphabet Town did. You’ll learn how they join with other letters, how they change their shapes like chameleons, and how they help form some of the most beautiful words in the Quran.

Key Learning Highlights for the Letters كَ and لَ:
Introduction to كَ and لَ (Kaaf and Laam with Fathah)
In this dedicated lesson, children are introduced to the correct pronunciation and visual recognition of the Arabic letters كَ (Kaaf with Fathah) and لَ (Laam with Fathah). This foundational step helps build accurate Arabic reading habits by focusing on sound clarity and letter shape.

Students learn how كَ and لَ attach to other letters within words—at the beginning, middle, and end. These lessons help them confidently identify the letters in any position in Arabic words.
Correct Pronunciation and Writing Techniques
With focused practice, learners will master the articulation of كَ, pronounced from the back of the tongue, and لَ, pronounced with the tip of the tongue touching the roof of the mouth. Writing drills ensure they develop accurate Arabic handwriting for each letter.
Reinforcement through Repetition
Through structured repetition and pronunciation exercises, students gain strong retention of the distinct sounds and shapes of كَ and لَ, solidifying their reading skills.
Interactive Flashcards for Engagement
Fun and colorful flashcards link كَ and لَ to relatable objects and words, making learning both joyful and memorable.
Word Building Exercises
Children combine كَ and لَ with previously learned letters to read and form new Arabic words. These exercises strengthen fluency, improve vocabulary, and boost reading confidence.

Time to Explore كَ and لَ!
Print your activity sheet, pick your brightest crayons or markers, and let’s bring these two letters to life! كَ (Kaaf with Fathah) sounds like a quick “ka!” and لَ (Laam with Fathah) says a clear “la!” They’re simple, strong, and super fun to say. Just a few playful minutes a day can turn these new sounds into your favorites. Let’s make Quran time joyful and exciting—كَ and لَ are ready when you are!
Some Playful Activities to Master كَ and لَ!
1. "Kaaf & Laam Treasure Hunt"
What you need: Flashcards with كَ and لَ, and small rewards (stickers, treats, etc.)
How to play:
Hide flashcards around the room—some with كَ and some with لَ. Tell your child, “Let’s go on a treasure hunt!”
Each time they find a card, they shout out the sound (e.g., “كَ!” or “لَ!”). When they get it right, they earn a small prize or a high five!
👉 Tip: You can also hide them under household items and give clues: “Look under something soft that rhymes with 'rug'!”
2. "Silly Sound Train"
What you need: A toy train or line up some blocks
How to play:
Make a pretend train where each “car” says a sound.
The first car says كَ, the next says لَ, then alternate! Your child becomes the conductor and goes “Choo-choo... كَ... لَ... كَ... لَ!”
👉 Add fun by having them pull the train around the house and repeat the sounds with rhythm or even a silly voice!
3. "Draw the Letter, Say the Sound"
What you need: Sand tray, shaving cream on a tray, or finger paints
How to play:
Let your child draw كَ and لَ using their fingers. Each time they draw the letter, they say the sound out loud.
👉 Example: “I’m drawing كَ! Ka! Now لَ! La!”
You can make it even more fun by racing the clock or drawing next to them and making silly comparisons like:
“Your كَ looks like a superhero’s cape!”
