Look for specific, measurable signs: Qaida lessons or Mushaf pages completed, new surahs memorised and kept, fewer corrections per page, a Tajweed rule now applied consistently, and reading speed improving. Read the monthly progress report, record your child reading once a month to compare, and ask the teacher for a 3-month goal so you can check against it. “Doing well” isn’t enough. Progress should be visible and specific.What progress looks like by stageStageMonthly signs of progressQaidaSeveral lessons completed; fewer letter mistakes; smoother joiningEarly MushafMore pages read; less spelling out; fewer correctionsTajweedOne more rule applied consistentlyHifzNew verses memorised and old ones keptThree ways to measureThe monthly progress report. See using the report.Monthly recording: the same page or surah, compared month to month.A 3-month goal: agreed with the teacher, checked at the end.Questions for the teacher“What exactly has my child achieved this month?”“What’s holding them back?”“What’s the goal for the next 3 months?”Warning signsNo clear answer about what was learnt.The same lesson repeated for many weeks without explanation.Your child can’t show you anything new.See when progress stalls.Teacher’s tip: progress is rarely a straight line. Compare three months, not one week.Related: Checking Tajweed teaching.
