changes needed.

I have books, but i really don't like it, i don't see it fits my students' needs, that this books made for non
 Arabic speakers, but from my experience using it  is really hard even for the Arabic speakers. and it is boring too, for this kind of student in that age ( meddle school ).
I'm trying to have and do my own curriculum, or change in the text we have to make it easier. Also i'm having them use their motor skills with crafts we made and talk about it.
But the biggest problem is the parents want their kids know everything, i mean they want their children to be talk fluently, and in the same time they don't talk Arabic with them. So they make it hard for me and my students.
To avoid that i have reading papers with the short and long vowels, even if it don't have a meaning.
And every lesson we do i have a vocabulary list with pictures to help them visualize the meaning of the words.
Help them form sentences, and make a small comprehension, to be sure they understood the concept.
