Overview

From sounds to meaning in Arabic.

Basamat is divided into two progressive sets — Set A and Set B — forming a complete two-year Arabic literacy journey.

Each set includes printed materials for students, digital resources for teachers, and video-based learning support.

From Sounds to Meaning — Naturally Acquired Arabic Literacy

Basamat is a comprehensive, sound-based Arabic literacy program designed to help young learners read and write naturally and confidently.

Developed with the same pedagogical foundation as sMiles, Basamat follows the child’s speech and cognitive development to ensure effective and lasting language acquisition.

Method

Key features.

Basamat is built on a progressive Arabic sound sequence that helps children develop reading, writing, and comprehension naturally.

It begins with simple, shared sounds and gradually introduces more complex ones through decodable stories, structured articulation, and accessible Modern Standard Arabic.

Phonics-based instruction

Built on a progressive sequence of Arabic sounds that helps children acquire literacy through listening, articulation, and pattern recognition.

Story-based lessons

Decodable stories that support vocabulary and comprehension while making Arabic reading meaningful and enjoyable for young learners.

Cognitively aligned

Begins with simple, shared sounds and gradually introduces complex ones in a sequence aligned with children’s speech and cognitive development.

Modern Standard Arabic
