A parent asks

Should we use the summer holidays for extra Quran lessons?

Bloomtivo answers

Yes, if you plan it. The UK summer break is about six weeks, enough for a real boost: for example finishing the Qaida, memorising a surah like Al-Mulk, or fixing key Tajweed rules. Add one or two lessons a week, practise every morning before other plans, set one clear goal, and still protect rest and family time. Return to the normal plan in September with a week of revision.

The full answer

Summer can either be a time when Quran fades or when children make their biggest leap. The difference is a plan.

Pick one summer goal

LevelExample goal
QaidaFinish the Qaida
New Mushaf readerRead Juz Amma fluently
HifzMemorise Al-Mulk or Juz Tabarak’s first surahs
TajweedMaster two rules, e.g. ghunnah and madd

A summer week

  • Lessons: add one or two a week (or longer lessons).
  • Daily practice: 15–20 minutes, every morning, before outings.
  • One day a week completely off.

Travelling abroad?

Lessons can continue online from almost anywhere with internet. See lessons on holiday abroad.

Back to school

In September, drop back to the normal schedule, and spend the first week on revision so the summer gains stick.

Celebrate

At the end of August, mark the goal: a certificate, a family recital, or a special outing.

Teacher’s tip: mornings are gold in the summer. Children who do Quran before anything else rarely miss it; those who leave it till evening often do.
