Abstract

The low mastery of Arabic writing skills (maharah kitabah) among elementary school students remains a significant challenge in Arabic language learning in Indonesia. Many students at the MI level still struggle to write hijaiyyah letters correctly, connect letters to form words, and write vocabulary independently due to the limited availability of systematic and structured teaching materials. This study aims to (1) design a thematic Arabic textbook based on a deductive approach for strengthening maharah kitabah of MI students, and (2) validate the textbook based on expert assessment. This research employs a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model. The textbook was developed using the Canva application and contains materials organized into three thematic units: sports, my friends, and garden. Expert validation results showed scores of 89.41% from content experts, 94.55% from design experts, and 92.14% from learning experts, all categorized as "very valid." These findings indicate that the designed thematic Arabic textbook based on the deductive approach meets the validity criteria and is suitable for use in maharah kitabah learning at the Islamic Elementary School level. These findings are expected to serve as a practical reference for Arabic language teachers at the Islamic Elementary School level ini designing systematic, structured, and visuallu engaging writing skill teaching materials that align with student developmental characteristic.
