Collins Big Cat Arabic Reading Programme is a guided reading series for ages 3 to 11. The series is structured with reference to the learning progression of Arabic at nursery and primary schools researched especially for Collins. This carefully graded approach allows children to build up their reading knowledge of Arabic step by step.

Level 14 books build on level 13 by offering stories with more complex plots and with a greater number of chapters to encourage the development of reading stamina. Non-fiction texts use complex vocabulary and deal with challenging global themes. The style of language further reflects progression in the teaching of Arabic grammar, while still using largely familiar vocabulary and simplified concepts.

Saeed is travelling through the desert with his family. His dad Abdullah explains that they will be helped on their journey by every traveller’s special friend – the moon! Find out more about the cultural significance of the moon for the Bedouin people in this beautifully illustrated story.

Imad Nasr graduated from the Lebanese University in Beirut in 2004, holds both a diploma and a post-graduate diploma in the teaching of Arabic literature and language, and is studying for a master’s degree in Arabic linguistics. He has over twelve years’ teaching experience – mostly in Oman, Abu Dhabi and Dubai – and is currently Director of Arabic at an IB school in Dubai. He is also a writer, and has written a number of poems and stories, many for children.
