Lesson 8 · Huroof Maddah
Huroof Maddah (Long Letters)
Today I will learn the three stretching letters: alif, waw and yaa.
ا after a fatha, وْ (with sukoon) after a damma and يْ (with sukoon) after a kasra make the sound long: about two counts.
Tip for parents: Compare short and long: بَ / بَا. Do not make it longer than two counts.
