About this worksheet

Raa (ر) is the tenth letter of the Arabic alphabet. It is pronounced as a tapped or lightly rolled “r”, similar to the “r” in Spanish “pero”.

Raa is a short curved stroke that dips below the line, with no dots. This worksheet practises both of its forms — isolated (ر) and final (ـر), with stroke-direction arrows to guide each movement.

You will find Raa at the start of everyday words such as رمان (pomegranate) and رأس (head). Writing tip: Unlike Dal (د), Raa should curve down below the line — practising the two side by side shows the difference clearly.
