One of the most common questions parents ask us is where their child should start. The good news: you don't have to decide alone. Here's a quick guide.
Start with Qaida if…
- Your child has never read Arabic before, or only knows a few letters.
- They can read some words but often mix up similar letters or sounds.
- They're young (around 4–7) and starting from the very beginning.
Qaida builds the foundation: every letter, its correct sound, vowels and how letters join. A strong Qaida makes everything afterwards easier.
Choose Quran Reading & Tajweed if…
- Your child can read Arabic words but reads slowly or with mistakes.
- They've finished Qaida and are ready to read from the Quran itself.
- You want to improve pronunciation and learn Tajweed rules.
Consider Hifz if…
- Your child reads the Quran fluently and fairly accurately.
- They're motivated to memorise and can practise a little every day.
Hifz works best with strong reading, because memorising with mistakes is much harder to correct later.
