How do I track my child’s Hifz progress at home?

Question

Keep a simple Hifz log with four columns: surah, date started, date memorised, and a strength rating (green = strong, amber = some mistakes, red = needs work). Update it weekly after your child recites to you. Revise red surahs first. Together with the teacher’s monthly report, it shows exactly where your child stands. As your child memorises more, it becomes hard to remember what is strong and what is slipping.
