Al Atfaal Express is a place for children to write for authentic audience. The idea is that here children can write about the places they have been, the places they love, the places they live, the cultures and traditions about those places etc. There is no limitation as to what they want to write about, it can be the street they live or the nearest museum, the beach they enjoyed on holidays or the natural reserve they visited over the summer. There is also no age limit, your three years old can also have a go with hand made drawing or as a parent you can also contribute a photo essay.
This will not only give our children an authentic audience to write for, they will also learn essential communication skills by writing comments on each others posts ( all commenst would be moderated for unsuitable content), they can share their love of exploring new places and can learn about other countries and their cultures.
The style of writing can also be very flexible. Your child can either send a simple article about a place with pictures if they like, they can make photo essays, slide shows with captions, videos, make digital posters, even hand drawn pictures or a postcard with a caption. There are no deadlines, no pressure. It is going to be an on going exchange, Insha Allaah, with no limit to how many posts a child can send. It is not a compitition, it is simply a place to share your love of exploration and writing with others!
