The urdu books can be found at the link Urdu for kids

Sul learned his basic urdu alphabets reading and writing both. He did his final project for Urdu alphabets and got his prize (going to Great Escape for a day and having his dinner outside in his beloved Gulberg restaurant). The final project looks like this.

He wrote all the alphabets on cards and then glued them to a white chart.

Hey all,

I am trying out a new idea with my son. I have made his urdu copy. I am introducing the half shapes for all the alphabets now.

We introduce one alphabet’s half shape and then he comes up with all the things he can think of for that alphabet. I draw all of them and then he colors. These are two of his work sheets.

He loves this activity because he gets to brain storm ideas and he loves doing that. You should try it at home too.

Hey all,

I was talking about some difficulties i have encountered in my previous post. I really can use some help here.

A brief introduction of the book.

I am implementing the book to illustrate different forms of alphabets used when they are used at the beginning, middle or end of the words. I have come up with most of them. A few ones i cannot think of rigt now. I would really appreciate your help in identifying them.

I am adding the list of alphabets that i am stuck on, please do recommend any words ( should be able to draw picture of it to illustrate) that you can think of. The pattern that i am using here is

The urdu alphabet – the place (middle or end) of word required – example of the word using alphabet to confirm the alphabet – meaning of the word in english.

1. “say” – alphabet included in the middle and end.
2. “Hay” – alphabet used at the end. (This hay is used in Halwa).
3. “ddal” – alphabet used at end. (This is used in Danda – stick).
4. “zhay” – alphabet used at end. (This is used in zhala baari – hail storm).
5. “suad” – alphabet included in the middle and end. (This is used in sandooq – suitcase).
6. “duad” – alphabet included in the middle. (This is used in daeef – elderly ppl).
7. “tuay” – alphabet used at end. (This is used in tota – parrot)
8. “zuay” – alphabet included in the middle and end. (This is used in zuroof – crockery)

Looking forward to any recommendations.

Hey all,

Sorry for not posting for a while. I was working on the sequel of book “Rang a Rang Khattati (Part 2)” but i seem to be a bit stuck on few alphabets.  Also, i have been working on a couple of other things as well. So, this is taking a lot longer than i thought.

The idea is to introduce different shapes of alphabets when used in a word; e.g. bay has 3 different forms, start, middle and end of word.
Please feel free to comment or provide any ideas for the book.
Thanks alot,

Welcome to Spark a Quest,

I have started this website to organize the material i am collecting for teaching my kids. I have a few ideas in mind, some of them converted into material and some are still in my mind. I will be basically working on Urdu material as that is not easily available. This Urdu material can be found on the link “Urdu for kids”. I hope it will be helpful as an aid to learn urdu for your children. Please feel free to download and use these Urdu books and give me feedback.

I am also going to need your help in achieving the goal of making Urdu teachng material that is as interesting as other teaching materials we find in North America.

I will keep on updating here about what new work i am doing currently.

Enjoy.
