The Elementary English Reading and Composition (8 – 10 Years) class will focus on an engaging, age-appropriate book list coupled with complimentary development of skills in composition.
The goal here is to have a of broad selection of genres and perspectives to be explored with a practicing Muslim educator as a guide. Children will learn (إن شاء الله) to grapple with the meaning and messages of texts and to judge what we can learn and what we should leave from texts written by non-Muslims. Discussions and assignments will ask students to relate what they are reading to the principles and practice of our faith; whether the texts explicitly reference Islamic themes, express values commonly held by Muslims and non-Muslims alike, or make statements or implications which run counter to our traditions and values.
