How to read this lesson.
A standing fatha (a small alif above) is read as a long ā, two beats. The standing kasra and the inverted damma are read as long ī and ū.
Work through the grid from right to left, row by row, saying each cell aloud. When you can read a cell without looking at the transliteration, mark it as known. Repeat the lesson the next day before moving on.
