Interactive Arabic alphabet blocks

A system for teaching Arabic letters using interactive Arabic alphabet blocks in conjunction with a touch screen, comprising:

• a device comprising a capacitive touch screen, a processor and memory, the device including a software application that is stored in the memory of the device and executable on the processor configured to:
• i) detect the Arabic alphabet block placed on and interfacing with the capacitive touch screen;
• ii) determine the identity of the Arabic alphabet block;
• iii) select a program for display on the capacitive touch screen based on an identity of the Arabic alphabet block;
• and
• iv) display the selected program on the capacitive touchscreen;
• a set of interactive Arabic alphabet blocks for teaching Arabic letters, each of the blocks having a plurality of abutting outer surfaces to form the block, each of the outer surfaces of the blocks being entirely covered with a conductive material thereby enhancing their ability to be sensed when the block is placed and held on the capacitive touch screen, comprising:
• a) a first set of Arabic alphabet blocks defining single stroke letters, wherein each of the blocks has:
• i) a distinct single stroke Arabic letter indicia disposed on one of its outer surfaces;
• and
• ii) a distinct pattern of two raised nubs on another one of the outer surfaces, wherein the two raised nubs identify its corresponding single stroke Arabic letter, further wherein the two raised nubs having a surface configured to interact with the capacitive touch screen whereby the distinct Arabic letter is displayed;
• b) a second set of Arabic alphabet blocks defining double stroke letters, wherein each of the blocks has:
• i) a distinct double stroke Arabic letter indicia disposed on one of its outer surfaces;
• and
• ii) a distinct pattern of three raised nubs on another one of the outer surfaces, wherein the three raised nubs identify its corresponding double stroke Arabic letter, further wherein the three raised nubs having a surface configured to interact with the capacitive touch screen whereby the distinct Arabic letter is displayed;
• c) a third set of Arabic alphabet blocks defining multi-stroke letters, wherein the multi-stroke letters require greater than two strokes, further wherein each of the blocks has:
• i) a distinct multi-stroke Arabic letter indicia disposed on one of its outer surfaces;
• and
• ii) a distinct pattern of four raised nubs on another one of the outer surfaces, wherein the four raised nubs identify its corresponding multi-stroke Arabic letter, further wherein the four raised nubs having a surface configured to interact with the capacitive touch screen whereby the distinct Arabic letter is displayed.
