بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
We are delighted to finally reveal what we've been working on behind the scenes—a project that aims to solve a real need in our community. Our children deserve a safe, guided, and nurturing environment where they can enjoy reading secular books while strengthening their literacy and language skills.
We all know that our children must excel in Islamic knowledge first and foremost. But simultaneously, they will eventually face English examinations, literature studies, and a variety of books: including classics and modern texts. And yes, many of these materials can include grey areas that make us hesitant or unsure.
That’s why this initiative was born. With proper guidance, a clear lens, and a space where harmful or polluted ideas are not entertained, our children can learn, read, think, and enjoy books in a wholesome way.
So we proudly introduce… The Page Pals Book Club!
A joyful, safe, and engaging reading circle created for our budding readers. We aim to begin in March, after Ramadhaan, in shaa Allaah, and continue as an ongoing club for girls who love books and learning.
Details:
Start: March (after Ramadhaan), in shaa Allaah
Ages: Girls 8–11
Level: Participants should already be able to read comfortably, as we will begin with children’s classics
Format: Online, interactive reading club
What will we do in this 15-week course?
📚Read aloud a chapter of The Railway Children every week (kids will take turns on a rotation basis) - The digital book link will be provided. But it is nice to have the physical book (not the abdriged version)
✍🏻Reading comprehension worksheets
🖌️Writing exercises
📝Book report project
🌱Companionship to discuss and learn in a safe environment
Course Time: 7pm - 8pm KSA/Qatar Time
Course Dates: Saturdays from March 28th to the 11th of July (15 classes)
Cost: USD 45 per student for the full course ($3 per class to be paid in full)
Who is the teacher?
The course is designed and taught by Maimoonah. A young English language enthusiast, and passionate creative with three years' experience of teaching girls, who holds a BA in English Language and Literature, as well as a Diploma in Editing and Proofreading. She is currently an MA student studying Creative Writing. She loves hot cocoa and orange cats!
The course contents are checked by Umm Maimoonah.
Registrations Now! — and spaces are limited!
Every child who loves to read will have the opportunity to participate, share their voice, and grow in confidence. More details about how reading rotations will work will be shared upon registration.
We truly hope this initiative becomes a bridge — helping our children develop strong skills while remaining grounded, guided, and connected to their values. Your support means so much to us, and we look forward to bringing you even more beneficial projects in the future, in shaa Allaah.
