Learn to read and count in English AND Arabic, with Dana, a friendly little pearl, as your child's guide. Huroof Island is a playful preschool program for ages 2–10. Every lesson is a short game: trace a letter, hear its sound, drag it to the right picture, sort, build words, count and sing. Children learn by doing, not by watching. ARABIC & ENGLISH PHONICS, SIDE BY SIDE • ABC Island: letter sounds, tracing, blending and first words in English. • Alif Ba Bay: all 28 Arabic letters with harakat (fatha, damma, kasra), the four letter forms, tracing right-to-left and first Arabic words with full tashkeel. • Every word is voiced by friendly native-sounding narrators in both languages. NUMBERS, SHAPES & THE WORLD • Number Mountain: counting, number bonds, 1–100, shapes, patterns and colours, with Arabic-Indic numerals too. • Wonder World: animals, dinosaurs, the body, weather, space and more. • Me & My World: family, feelings, routines and everyday words in both languages. • Story Tree: picture books and songs. BUILT FOR LITTLE HANDS • No reading needed: big picture buttons and spoken instructions. • Guided letter tracing with start dots and stroke direction. • Gentle feedback, stars, stickers and a daily quest that keep children coming back. • Designed for iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape. FOR PARENTS • Parent Zone behind a grown-up gate: progress for each child, letters practised, minutes played. • Up to four child profiles, daily time limits and a goodnight screen. • No ads. No links out for kids. Lessons work offline. The first unit of every island is free.
