{"product_id":"ico-islamic-studies-workbook-grade-1-part-2","title":"ICO Islamic Studies Workbook: Grade 1, Part 2","description":"At this level, students are introduced to Islam through the Shahaadah (testimony of faith). They learn appropriate care of the Qur'an and engage in memorization and recitation of soorahs from Soorat At-Teen to Soorat Al-Humazah. The life of Prophet Muhammad (s) is introduced. The children are taught the basics of cleanliness and ablution along with the proper performance of prayer. The course ends with lessons on personal hygiene, respect for parents, and respect for the property of others. The material is presented, using a spiral approach, where students revisit each area and study it in greater depth each year. The student's textbook contains the subject text of the lessons, exercises, as well as activities. The Activity Book, however, engages the student in additional activities on the same lessons dealt with in the Student's Textbook. The difference is that the activities in the Activity Book are more analysis and synthesis based, instead of simple recall-type activities. There is also a more practical aspect aligned to activities in the Activity Book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe ICO project is a distinguished one because:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur curricula meet the needs of the target audience for integrated, coherent, and appropriate curricula. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey were prepared according to scientific bases, assimilating the most recent educational and psychological theories. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey were prepared by special educationists who are experienced in designing curricula and who are familiar with the needs of the target group. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey employed the most recent techniques and educational aids. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey went through many quality control processes, which were carried out by specialized committees, and they were enhanced by teachers who evaluated the curricula before releasing them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Features and Characteristics of the Textbooks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese books were prepared by the International Curricula Organization (ICO) and have certain features, which distinguish them from any other textbooks:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFirst: The Technical Features:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe textbooks have been designed in accordance with the international quality standards in all aspects: colors, paper, size, illustration, and printing. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey have been furnished with the appropriate illustrations and pictures which match the students’ educational stage and environment. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe texts have been distributed and organized in a way that makes the text stand out, paying special attention to the font type and size, and the spaces; and colors were chosen carefully to appeal to the target audience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cb\u003eSecond: The Instructional and Linguistic Features:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforce the proper linguistic basis of the non-Arabic speaking students. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey build the students’ linguistic dictionary according to their environmental needs. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvide non-Arabic speaking students with a good deal of Islamic vocabulary. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentify the correct articulation of the different sounds through the study of the Glorious Qur’an. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnable the students to evade making mistakes when reciting the Glorious Qur’an through employing the rules of the Arabic language. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvide an integrated curriculum with well-prepared scientific content and vocabulary. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake into consideration the students’ individual mental differences and their diverse linguistic skills. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsider the students’ different cultures. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop the students’ creativity and mental faculties.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cb\u003eThird: The Educational Content Features:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforce the principle of forgiveness and the etiquette of disagreement with others. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop the spirituality, morality, and values of the students. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelp students have good and balanced personalities. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop the students’ pride in their Muslim identity. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelp the caller to Islam to develop a balanced personality that reflects the moderation of Islam.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Ar-Desc\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"KSA - ICO - International Curricula Organization","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44124942860381,"sku":"CBISW1P2","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/1198\/1661\/files\/media_9829523d-f859-4abf-9d9a-c94dc33f1146.jpg?v=1768082141","url":"https:\/\/bayydar.co.uk\/products\/ico-islamic-studies-workbook-grade-1-part-2","provider":"Bayydar.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
