Description of *new 4C Textbook

The 4C textbook can be thought of as bridge content which provides students with extra practice of key grammar concepts, Quran recitation, and reading comprehension. Here is a brief description of each component of the textbook:

1) Grammar Review: Students read the "Matn al-Ājurrumiyya," a famous classical grammar text that covers foundational grammar and morphology concepts studied in Levels 1-4. The text is accompanied by explanations, charts, and exercises with answer keys. This provides a solid review of all major grammar before moving onto Rhetoric in Levels 5 and 6.

2) Recitation Review: students review major recitation rules needed to engage the Quranic text through reading of the Tajwid primer poem "Tuhfat al-Atfal". The poem is accompanied by examples of the rules and Quranic passages for application practice.

3) Reading Review: students will develop their reading comprehension and vocabulary through translation of ahadith. The 80 ahadith are sorted by grammar topic and are organized by length (starting with ahadith that are a few words long and building up to lengthier passages).

Along with curated tafsir extracts, the text introduces the basics of the Qirā'āt (Quran recitations), Surat al-Baqara is full of interesting recitation differences.
