What’s New?
Our publications are always developed and tested in the classroom. Since the publication of the 3rd edition, we have noticed the need for learning resources that focus on developing specific reading and writing subskills. This includes understanding words from context, sight reading, understanding intensive and extensive reading skills, and more. So, in this expanded 4th edition, we have added a variety of activities to do just that.
We have also expanded Section 2 to include reading and writing activities that match all the chapters of our popular Urdu for beginner series: “Qadam A1.1.” and “Qadam A1.2.” This means this workbook is now suitable for complete beginners as well as advanced beginners (CEFR Level A1-A2).
