All base letters in these words have already been introduced. If you skipped the letter lessons, use the sound hints and return to those families when needed; recognizing a whole word is a useful first step. Vowels inside each word are supplied; final grammatical case endings are omitted because we say each word on its own.
خُبْز
khubz — bread
Bread
Begin with the friction sound kh; sukuun on baa prevents an extra vowel before z.
خُبْز
khubz — bread
Grapes
Begin with voiced throat ʿayn, followed by short i; ʿ is a consonant, not decoration.
عِنَب
ʿinab — grapes
Sun
Three dots identify shiin; miim closes the syllable before s.
شَمْس
shams — sun
Moon
Deep q begins the word; use a light tapped r at the end.
قَمَر
qamar — moon
