AI Powered Arabic Childrens Phonics Book Generator
Summary
Immersive Bilingual Arabic-English Phonics Book Series with Social Media Marketing and Amazon PDF Sales
1. Project Overview
We are seeking an expert freelancer to develop, produce, market, and distribute an immersive bilingual Arabic-English childrens phonics book series for young learners (ages 4–8). The series consists of 84 books across 6 stages (14 books per stage), each with 16 pages (cover, 14 content pages, back cover), designed to teach Arabic as a second language while reinforcing English, aligned with the Read Write Inc. (RWI) phonics progression. The project requires a fully automated pipeline using open APIs, robust quality assurance, culturally relevant content rooted in Islamic moral values, and a comprehensive strategy for social media promotion and PDF sales on Amazon. The first deliverable is a prototype book, Noor’s New Friend (Stage 1, focusing on نَ), followed by the full series.
2. Project Objectives
Content Creation: Develop 84 phonics books with parallel Arabic ( with harakāt) and English texts, phonics-focused activities, and Islamic moral messages (e.g., kindness, gratitude).
Automation: Build a scalable pipeline using open APIs for text generation, harakāt addition, illustration, layout, and quality control.
Cultural Relevance: Incorporate Arab and western settings (e.g., gardens, souqs, nakhla) and Islamic values to engage young learners and families.
Marketing: Execute a social media strategy (e.g., Instagram, X, TikTok) to promote the series to parents, educators, and bilingual communities.
Distribution: Set up and manage PDF sales on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) with optimized listings for discoverability.
Quality Assurance: Ensure phonics accuracy, bilingual alignment, and error-free text through automated checks and minimal human oversight.
Each book must:
• Introduce and reinforce a specific Arabic phoneme (letter sound).
• Follow a progressive phonic order inspired by RWI but adapted for Arabic phonology.
• Be part of a narrative series using recurring characters in diverse, themed adventures.
• Feature a Phonics Focus, Moral Compass Message, and Activity Section on each page.
• Be joyful, repeatable, rhythmic, simple yet exciting, and morally aligned with Islamic values.
• Be compatible with AI layout automation, illustration generation, and phoneme-quality QA tools.
Main Characters (Recurring)
Choose 3–5 recurring characters for the whole series (e.g.):
• سامي – the curious boy
• ليلى – the clever sister
• جُود – the funny friend
• دانية – the shy helper
• جدّي – the wise grandfather
Page-by-Page Breakdown
Each page must include:
• Illustrated Scene Description (prompt-ready)
• Text (max 1–2 short sentences) focusing on the target sound.
• Phonics Focus: Highlight words on the page that reinforce the target phoneme.
• Moral Compass Message: A soft Islamic moral (e.g., honesty, kindness to animals).
• Activity: A simple comprehension, phonics or drawing task (e.g., "Find 3 words with ش", "Draw a garden").

3. Scope of Work
3.1 Content Development
Creative story Text Generation:
Creative inspiring children stories whicih are fun to learn and read in Arabic.
Create phonics-aligned Arabic text (e.g., 2–3 word sentences in Stage 1, progressing to 5–7 words in Stage 6) with full harakāt.
Generate parallel English translations ensuring semantic consistency.
Example (Noor’s New Friend, Stage 1): “نُورُ تَلْعَبُ فِي الْحَدِيقَةِ” (Noor plays in the garden).
Phonics Focus: Align with RWI progression (e.g., Stage 1: single letters like نَ; Stage 4: blends like شَ; Stage 6: narrative structures).
Moral Compass: Embed Islamic values (e.g., “Friendship is a blessing”) in each page of the book.
Activities: Embed activities in each page of the book. Design tiered activities for ages 4–5 (e.g., “Circle ن”) and 6–8 (e.g., “Write a word with ن”).
Cultural Elements: Use Arab and western settings (e.g., courtyards, nujūm) and traditional attire for characters.
