My child goes to an Islamic school. Do they still need extra Quran lessons?

Question

Bloomtivo Academy · Accepted Answer

It depends on how much individual time they get. In a class of 20 to 30, a child may recite individually for only a few minutes a week. Check three things: how often your child recites one-to-one, whether Tajweed mistakes are corrected, and whether their level matches the class. If any is weak, a 1-to-1 lesson once or twice a week fills the gap. Islamic schools in the UK give children a strong Islamic environment. Whether extra Quran lessons are needed depends on the individual child.Three questions to ask the schoolHow many minutes a week does my child recite individually to a teacher?Are Tajweed mistakes corrected individually?Is my child working at their own level, or the class level?When extra lessons helpSituationExtra 1-to-1 helps?Child is ahead of the classYes, to keep progressingChild is behind or struggling with lettersYes, to catch upHifz goals beyond the school’s planYesSchool has small groups and regular individual recitationMaybe notAvoid overloadA child who does Quran at school daily may not need more than one extra lesson a week. Focus extra lessons on what school can’t give: individual correction and personal goals.CoordinateTell the online teacher what your child does at school, so the two support each other rather than overlap.Teacher’s tip: record your child reading one page at home. If you can hear several uncorrected mistakes, more individual time will help.Related: Madrasah and online lessons.
