What is the difference between Al-Qaida Al-Nooraniyah and Noor Al-Bayan?

 

Al-Qaida Al-Nooraniyah differs from Noor Al-Bayan in the tools and resources used in the teaching process. As Al-Qaida Al-Nooraniyah relies on dedicated educational books that contain letters, words and sentences that vary in difficulty. While Noor Al Bayan usually uses educational books designed in a simplified and colorful way, which makes the learning experience more fun and exciting.

Who is the founder of Noor Al Bayan curriculum?

 

Noor Al Bayan curriculum has been taught in Islamic nurseries for twenty years.

What is the stage after Noor Al Bayan?

 

The next stage includes spelling, where children learn letters with vowels and long vowels. Then comes the fluency stage, which focuses on improving reading speed and comprehension. Finally, there is the understanding and criticism stage, which includes analyzing texts and types of discourse and discussing ideas from a constructive critical perspective.

When can a child start reading?

 

The answer to this question depends on the child's abilities and learning style. Children who learn through entertaining means and without pressure or violence learn quickly and enjoy learning. It is important to consider the child's age and needs for play and fun, so the educational process should be part of play and not an obstacle to it.

You can start with a preschool child (6 years old) starting at the age of three years, which gives you enough time before the child joins school education.

**Noor Al Bayan Method for Teaching Reading and Writing**

 

Noor Al Bayan Method is considered one of the effective methods that help children learn to read and write.

After completing the Noor Al Bayan method, the child will be able to read any sentence written with the correct diacritics, such as all verses of the Holy Quran.

You can complete the Noor Al Bayan method with the child in a period of up to 4 months, but the speed of learning depends on the child's response, your ability to attract his attention using different media, in addition to your commitment to attending classes at least twice a week.

I will now give you an overview of the Noor Al Bayan method, so that you can teach your child yourself, or register him in a nursery that adopts this method to establish him in the Arabic language.

Important note: All the examples mentioned aim to bring the pronunciation of the letters' sounds closer to your mind; everything inside the brackets represents the pronunciation method, not the writing method.

You should also note that exaggerating the pronunciation of the fat-ha, kasra, damma, elongation, tanween, and shadda is necessary when dealing with children; for example, if you exaggerate the pronunciation of the open letter, this will help your child achieve the fat-ha movement correctly.

**Contents of the Noor Al-Bayan book:**

 

The book begins by teaching the alphabet, then discusses the three movements. At this stage, the student learns how to pronounce each letter correctly from its point of articulation, in addition to writing it correctly. After that, he moves on to the letters with the Fatha movement, where he learns the images of each letter and its shapes at the beginning, end, and middle of the word. Then he practices reading words, and when he masters the Fatha movement, he moves on to the Kasra movement and then the Damma.

The second station in the book is related to knowing the extensions, where we start with the extension with Alif and reading some words that contain this extension, then we move on to the extension with Ya, and then the extension with Waw. After that, comprehensive exercises are conducted on the three extensions.

The third station deals with Tanween and Sukun, where the lesson begins with Tanween with Fatha, then Kasra and Damma, with various exercises on Tanween with different movements. After that, the student moves on to studying Sukun, where he practices many exercises until he masters this movement.

The last station in the book is about knowing the types of stress, getting to know the solar and lunar lam, and the rules of reciting the Holy Quran. The student also learns how to distinguish between the Quranic script and the spelling script, in addition to the positions of the hamzat al-qata'.

**Noor Al Bayan Curriculum Foundations**

 

At least two lessons per week should be allocated, using a whiteboard, and creating shapes for the letters using foam and colored boards. It is preferable to sing fun songs to help the child memorize the letters.

At the beginning of each lesson, write the entire alphabet on the board.

Read the letters in their correct form (Alif, Ba, Ta, Tha, Jeem, Ha, Kha, Dal, Dhal, Ra, Zay, Seen, Sheen, Sad, Dad, Ta, Dha, Ain, Ghain, Fa, Qaf, Kaf, Lam, Meem, Noon, Ha, Waw, Hamza, Ya) 4 to 5 times, taking into account the correct pronunciation of the emphasized letters.

In the first lesson, draw the letter Alif (A) for your child, and start singing a song for the alveolar letters, and repeat it at the beginning of each lesson until you reach the letter Dha (the last alveolar letter). Next, start the Qalqalah letters song and repeat it until you finish all the letters.

In the following lessons, teach your child similar letters together, such as (B, T, Th) in one lesson, then (J, H, Kh) and so on.

In each lesson, provide multiple examples that start with the specific letter, and do not focus on just one example.

The task each time is to color a three-dimensional shape of the letter, and write the letter around the shape several times, with an example of it, in addition to reciting and writing the letters of the alphabet.

At the beginning of each lesson, make sure to review what was previously studied: recite all the letters orally, and write the set of alveolar letters, in addition to writing the set of Qalqalah letters after reviewing them.

After finishing studying all the letters, test your child orally in reciting the letters, and the songs of alveolar letters and Qalqalah, and ask him to give an example of any letter. Then move on to the written test in writing the letters, whether in order or randomly.

Disadvantages of Noor Al Bayan Method:

 

1. **Focus on memorization and repetition**: Noor Al Bayan method relies mainly on memorizing letters and words without focusing on understanding meanings, which may lead to difficulty in linking words and understanding the context.

2. **Ignoring the phonetic aspect**: Noor Al Bayan method does not give enough attention to the phonetic aspect in teaching reading, which may cause difficulties in pronunciation and expression.

3. **Difficulty in application**: Some students may face challenges in applying Noor Al Bayan method, especially in the early stages, due to the many rules and laws it includes.

4. Lack of interaction: Noor Al Bayan method is considered traditional, as it lacks interaction and participation from students, which may lead to them feeling bored and losing interest.

5. Ignoring individual differences: Noor Al Bayan method does not take into account individual differences between students, such as learning speed and different learning styles, which may cause learning difficulties for some of them.

**Conflict with other learning theories:**

 

**Cognitive construction theory:**Cognitive construction theory focuses on the importance of forming knowledge through the student's experiences and linking them to his previous experiences. In contrast, Noor Al Bayan system relies on memorization and repetition, which contradicts the principles of this theory.

**Active Learning Theory:** Active learning theory emphasizes the need for student participation in the learning process. While Noor Al Bayan relies on a traditional methodology that reduces the opportunities for student participation.

**Play Learning Theory:** Play Learning Theory emphasizes the importance of using fun and stimulating activities in the learning process. However, Noor Al Bayan lacks this vital element.

**What are the stages of reading for children?**

 

**From birth to 18 months:** At this stage, the child begins to pronounce some simple words and understand short sentences. He can also look at books and turn their pages. When he reaches the first year, he becomes able to say one or more words.

**From 18 months to 3 years:** When the child is two years old, he can pronounce between 250 to 350 words, and the number reaches 800-1000 words when he reaches three years old. At this stage, the child enjoys listening to familiar books, begins to repeat sentences from his favorite books, imitates sounds, and asks others to read stories to him.

**From 3 to 5 years:** The child learns from books that are read to him aloud, which helps him expand his knowledge of familiar letters. He also begins to try to write letters and identify rhyming words.
