A parent asks

How long does it take a child to finish the Noorani Qaida?

Bloomtivo answers

It depends mainly on age and lessons per week. Typical ranges: a 7–10-year-old with 3–5 lessons a week and daily practice often finishes in about 4 to 8 months; with 2 lessons a week, 8 to 12 months. Children aged 4–5 usually take a year or more, and that’s fine. Daily 10-minute practice is what speeds it up most.

The full answer

Parents want a timeline. These are typical ranges, not promises; every child is different.

Typical time to finish

Age2 lessons a week3–5 lessons a week
4–512–18 months9–12 months
6–79–12 months6–9 months
8–108–10 months4–7 months
11+ and adults6–8 months3–5 months

These assume about 10 minutes of practice at home on most days.

What speeds it up

  • Daily home practice, even short.
  • More frequent, shorter lessons.
  • Revision of earlier lessons every week.

What slows it down

  • Long breaks (holidays, illness) without any practice.
  • Rushing through lessons without mastery, then going back.
  • Practice only on lesson days.

Teacher’s tip: don’t judge speed in the first month. Children often move slowly through the letters, then speed up once vowels and joining click.
