Things I can do in Arabic

I have been learning Arabic using The Polyglots apps, here are some of the things I can do in the language.

This is a document that educators can use to share children's learnings with their families. It is a list of "I can�" statements. Each "I can�" statement has a scale that allows the educator to record how the child is progressing with each of the seven Polyglot apps.

The scale for all seven apps has three labels:

  • Doing sometimes with assistance
