How to teach it
One surah a week, at bedtime.
Ask the question in the table the next morning.
When praying, remind them: “Remember what Al-Kawthar means?”
Teacher’s tip: let your child draw one picture for each surah (no people or Prophets): an elephant, a cup of water, a sunrise. A picture book of meanings is something they will keep.
