Al-Tamarin Al-Nahwiyyah: Nahw Workbook

I'm so grateful for this workbook. I had my students order it as well and shared it with my colleagues.

This is a companion workbook to the text Tasheelun Nahw, which is often used as a primer to teach Arabic grammer to English speaking students. The workbook follows the same order of chapters and gives a lot of exercises for each chapter (usually between 15 to 30 depending on the chapter). The Arabic font is clear and easy to read. The exercises are nicely spaced out in tables with lines below to write the answers. It's very useful to have as a teacher because it takes away the burden of having to think of more examples while teaching (the original book has very few per chapter). Also, students can be assigned to do the exercises for each chapter (or a portion of them) as homework to test their understanding. The workbook also assumes that students may be in the early stages of building their Arabic vocabulary so a glossary table of all the Arabic words contained in the exercises (or most of them at least) can be found at the end of the book.

A heap of exercises for each lesson which supports Tasheel al-Nahw. More thought process should have gone in structuring the questions in a systematic way to retain vocab and additionally reinforce all the rules within the book. Guess it supplements the book to some degree, but not worth the price. Poor typeset.
