Open publisher — opens in a new tabEvery letter has its own page: a standalone PDF sheet, the letter pronounced at the click of a button, how to say it for non-Arabic-speaking parents, its four shapes, and example words. Start wherever your child is.
Tracing works best in short, frequent sessions rather than long ones. A single letter per day, five minutes at a time, will take a child through the whole alphabet in about a month and hold their attention far better than working through ten pages on a Saturday.
Handwriting sticks faster when the sound is already in the child's ear. Say the letter name, have your child repeat it, and only then put the pencil down. If you are not a confident Arabic speaker, play the letter in the letter game first and copy the pronunciation you hear.
The first two letters in every row are printed in solid grey to follow. The next two are hollow outlines, which force the child to control the stroke rather than colour inside a shape. The remaining boxes are empty. Do not skip ahead to the empty boxes — the graded sequence is what builds the muscle memory.
Arabic letters change shape depending on where they sit in a word. Every letter sheet shows all four forms side by side — alone, at the start, in the middle, and at the end. Children who meet this early stop being surprised by it later. Six letters (ا د ذ ر ز و) never join to the letter after them, and their sheets say so.
The bottom of each letter sheet has two or three real words that contain the letter, with a transliteration and an English meaning. Tracing a whole word is the point where a child stops drawing shapes and starts writing Arabic.
Put each completed sheet in a folder in alphabet order. By the end you have a workbook your child made, which is a far better prompt for revision than starting again from a blank page.
We built these sheets because most free Arabic tracing worksheets online are a single scanned page, printed either too faint to follow or too dark to trace over. Ours are typeset in Noto Naskh — the same clear naskh script children meet in school books — at a size a four-year-old can actually control, with the tracing guides graded from solid grey to a hollow outline to nothing at all, so a child leaves each page writing unaided.
A reference version at the top of the page, big enough to study the shape properly before copying it.
Isolated, initial, medial and final, each labelled in English and Arabic.
Five large letters, then six medium, then eight small — the size drops as control improves.
With transliteration and meaning, each on its own dashed writing line.
So a teacher handing out thirty copies can tell them apart.
No colour blocks, no photographs, no background fills. These print on a cheap mono laser printer without draining a cartridge.
The sheets are laid out for A4. Scaling shrinks the tracing boxes below a comfortable size for small hands. If your printer defaults to US Letter, choose A4 or accept slightly wider margins — do not tick “shrink to fit”.
Everything is already black and grey, so greyscale changes nothing visually and stops a colour printer mixing cartridges to make grey.
With a dry-wipe pen a single printed sheet becomes reusable indefinitely, which matters if your child wants to trace the same letter twenty times.
The one-page alphabet chart is a reference to pin on the wall. Printing all 28 letter sheets at once tends to produce a stack nobody works through.

The letter and animal sheets suit children from about four to seven, once they can hold a pencil with some control. The numbers and colours sheets work from about three, because counting circles and colouring shapes need less precision than tracing a letter.
Because handwriting control develops from large movements to small ones. Starting a child on small letters produces cramped, tense writing. Each sheet starts at a size the whole arm can draw and finishes near normal writing size.
Turn off any toner-saving or draft mode, which is the usual cause. The tracing guides are printed in mid grey on purpose so a pencil line shows clearly on top of them, but draft mode drops them below the visible threshold.
Alphabet order, because that is the order children are taught in almost every Arabic curriculum and the order the alphabet song follows. If you would rather start with the easiest shapes, the alphabet guide marks each letter easy, medium or hard for English speakers.
The individual packs each cover one topic, including the alphabet chart, letter tracing, harakat (short vowels), numbers, colours and themed colouring books. The complete workbook collects every pack into a single file in teaching order. Choose it for the full library, or download an individual pack or a single letter sheet for a shorter activity.
Pair tracing with sound. Say the letter, let your child hear it in the letter game, then trace it on the worksheet. Seeing, hearing and writing the same letter in one short session fixes it far faster than tracing in silence.
The worksheets train the hand. These guides train the ear and the eye.
How each of the 28 letters sounds, the common mistakes, and how to fix them.

Number names, pronunciation and counting practice.
Hear every letter pronounced. Useful right before a tracing session.
