Qalam: Learn Arabic Letters

Qalam (قلم — "pen") teaches children to read and handwrite the Arabic alphabet, one letter at a time. Arabic script is beautiful — and genuinely hard to write. Each of the 28 letters changes shape depending on where it sits in a word, and the only way those forms become natural is by writing them by hand, with the right strokes and proportions. Most apps skip this and settle for flashcards or videos. Qalam puts a pen back in your child's hand. Designed for ages 4–10 and built for iPad and iPhone with Apple Pencil support. • TRACE EVERY LETTER Tap any letter to open a guided tracing canvas. A faint guide letter sits on lined paper; your child traces over it with a finger or Apple Pencil, and the app rewards a completed trace with a clear tick. • ALL FOUR FORMS — مفردة · أول · وسط · آخر Real Arabic isn't just isolated letters. Qalam teaches all four positional forms of every letter — isolated, initial, medial, and final — because that's what a child meets in a real book. • REAL RECORDED AUDIO Every letter and word plays a genuine recorded Arabic pronunciation — not a robotic voice — so listening and writing stay connected. • 84 ILLUSTRATED WORDS TO COLOUR Each letter comes with three example words and a hand-drawn illustration — a camel, a star, a lion — that your child can colour in, then trace the word beneath in large Arabic script. • TASHKEEL (DIACRITICS) Add fatha, damma, kasra, tanwin, sukun, and shadda to practise fully vowelled letters. • SAFE AND PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads. No third-party tracking. No accounts. No data leaves the device. Everything runs fully offline. Qalam is built to meet Apple's Kids Category standards, so you can hand it to your child with confidence. 28 letters · 4 forms each · 84 illustrated words · 112 recorded audio clips. Qalam is the first app from Sedrah AI's handwriting platform — a calm, focused, screen-native way to learn a script that has always been taught with pen and paper.
