Arabic fonts

[Ummu Sufyaan]

:sl: brothers and sisters.

i know someone who teaches kids Arabic. And they need a dotted font of the Arabic alphabet so that the kids can learn how to write. (by writting over the dots).
does anyone know where i can get something like this from.

hey..
i understand what you mean, but it's complecated, cause arabic letters are not like english letters. See, when you write in arabic letters are combined, and usually some changes happen to change the form of a letter. For example, the أ letter is written the same at the beginning of a word. but it changes at the middle of it to this form ـأ .Another example: حـ becomes ــحــ.
Therefor, you should start teaching arabic letters Individually to children.
And you can teach them letters indevidually at there three shapes: at the beginning of a word, at the middle and at the end.

i am wondering if you are an arabic native speaker?
becouse you might notfind this relevant.

yes. i was thinking though that maybe some textbooks that they teach kids with at schools have this type of font. that way inshallah i could maybe get in contact with the publishers and ask them what type of font they use. do you (or does anyone know) or has anyone come across textbooks like this. what is their titles/authors, etc
