Guide

How to read this lesson.

When waw or ya has a sukun and the letter before has a fatha, read them softly and quickly, as ay and aw, without stretching.

Work through the grid from right to left, row by row, saying each cell aloud. When you can read a cell without looking at the transliteration, mark it as known. Repeat the lesson the next day before moving on.
