Juju's story: The Dotted Dragon
Ḍaad has a dot for a dragon's firefly.
Ḍaad is a friendly dragon bubble. He looks just like the soap bubble, but he has one glowing firefly hovering right above him.
Sound: a heavy, deep d. Arabic is called "the language of Ḍaad"!
Looks like: ص Ṣaad. Look at the dots to tell them apart!
Juju's Letter Train: Ḍaad at the start, middle and end
Arabic letters hold hands like a train. Start reading at the engine on the right, then walk back along the train. The letter changes its look in each spot.
