Imagine and Read Arabic—InRA is a form of intervention strategies through the design of teaching material as an alternative to overcome the problem in recognizing and reading Arabic letters among students in the basic education？level. Innovation is highlighted from the point of teaching techniques and aids？learning reading skills of 29 Hija’iyyah Arabic Alphabets of single vowel “A” in teaching and learning Arabic language in primary schools. The usage of this innovation will not only overcome the issue of identifying and reading but also？even train students of basic Arabic writing techniques. It is compatible with the objectives of the Curriculum Standard of the Arabic Language for Year 1 KSSR？Revision and the initial curriculum for Year 2 to 6 to ensure that students can read and write Arabic Hija’iyyah Alphabets correctly. This innovation is devoted to the use of rehabilitation activities in the classroom of teaching Arabic language subject through the application of multiple intelligences. A total of？20 students from Year 1 were exposed to teaching aids using the charts that are designed graphically using picture icons which resemble certain Hija’iyyah Alphabets for 7 weeks with a focus on 4-5 letters per week. Post-test results found that 100% sample students have successfully mastered those skills. The implementation of technology applications AR (Augmented Reality) and QR Code also adds an element of edutainment in aids designed for the purpose of self-access learning that characterizes the 21st century teaching and learning.
