The Magic Fez (Tunisian)

The Tunisian Arabic Readers series provides learners with valuable exposure to authentic language in context. The five stories in the series are all written at a similar level (B1–B2) and can be read in any order. They’re an engaging and flexible way to build vocabulary, strengthen comprehension, and develop overall fluency.

The main Arabic text appears on even-numbered pages, fully vocalized with tashkeel (diacritics) to support reading. Parallel English translations are provided on the facing odd-numbered pages to help you understand new words, expressions, and cultural references.

For those ready for a greater challenge, a second version of each story is included at the back of the book—without tashkeel and translations—to encourage more natural reading practice.

Each story includes 20 comprehension questions with sample answers (and English translations) to reinforce understanding, along with a sequencing exercise that helps you review the story by putting ten key events back in order.
