Question

Bloomtivo Academy · Accepted Answer

Rough guide with regular lessons: ages 4–5 learn the letters and a few short surahs; 6–7 finish the Qaida and start reading the Mushaf; 8–10 read fluently with basic Tajweed and memorise more of Juz ‘Amma; 11+ read confidently and may take on structured Hifz. Every child is different, so compare your child only with their own progress.

Children who start later often move faster.Signs the goals need adjustingTears or arguments before most lessons: slow down.Bored and racing ahead: ask the teacher for more challenge.Stuck for months on the same thing: talk to the teacher about a new approach.Teacher’s tip: Set one reading goal and one memorisation goal per term with the teacher, and review them in the monthly report.Related: setting a yearly Quran goal.
