How do I set a Quran goal for my child for the year?
Bloomtivo answers
Make the goal specific, measurable and realistic: for example, “finish the Noorani Qaida by July” or “memorise Al-Mulk and the last ten surahs by Ramadan”. Break it into monthly targets, write it on the wall, check it with the teacher and review it every month using the progress report.
“Get better at Quran” is a wish. “Finish Qaida book 1 by March” is a goal. Specific goals give children something to aim for and parents something to check.

Step by step
Ask the teacher what is realistic for your child in a year.
Choose one main goal and, at most, one smaller one.
Split it into months, for example 4 surahs a month or 2 Qaida lessons a month.
Write it down and stick it on the wall or fridge.
Review monthly with the progress report and adjust if needed.
Example: “last 10 surahs by Ramadan”
October: An-Nas, Al-Falaq
November: Al-Ikhlas, Al-Masad
December: An-Nasr, Al-Kafirun
January: Al-Kawthar, Al-Ma’un
February: Quraysh, Al-Fil, plus full revision
Involve your child
Let your child help choose the goal and decorate the chart. A goal they chose is a goal they care about.
Teacher’s tip: plan a celebration for the day the goal is reached, and put the date on the chart. Something to look forward to keeps children going in the middle months.
Start with 2 free trial lessons. If your child does not get on with the teacher, we change the teacher and the trial lessons stay free until your child is comfortable. After that, you choose a paid plan that fits your child.
