The new textbooks have been designed resting on the concept of Mahawir or "field of activities", which fall under two or three interrelated units dealing with topics related to the daily life and interests of students. Within each unit are seven to eight 'to the point' lessons dealing with conversational Arabic, reading, vocabulary and linguistic structures, applied grammar, spelling and dictation, review and reinforcement and finally cultural enrichment. In addition each textbook contains a supplement of 4 to 5 units focusing on Islamic themes.

This workbook is designed to be a companion to the Second Generation Textbook IQRA Arabic Reader, Grade 2. It must be considered an extension to the textbook and an integral part of it without which the learning process will be incomplete. It is designed to be an exercise and activity book which complements and reinforces what the student learns from the textbook.
