Collins Big Cat Arabic Reading Programme - Abla and her Wonderful Coat: Level 8

Level 8 books are becoming more complex, although still strongly patterned but to a lesser extent than level 7. Although the focus remains on vowelling to aid the flow of reading with verbal sentences of up to 8-10 words, level 8 books have more events and episodes, fewer repeated patterns, and more complex vocabulary. Non-fiction titles use non-fiction tools – including signs, labels, captions and diagrams – where necessary. Double spacing is used between words to ensure children see where each new word in a sentence begins and ends.

Abla the goat loves her red coat and Thalooba the fox loves his spotty socks – but he wants Abla’s coat too, and sets out to steal it from her. Will Abla and Thalooba ever be able to find a compromise to keep them both happy?
