First steps: the Qaida
For complete beginners, usually from age 4. Most children finish in 6–12 months.
Noorani Qaida
Our teachers' first choice for beginners: letters, joining, harakat, then simple Tajweed, one small step at a time.

The same lessons with the English sound under every letter and a note on each rule, handy for parents who want to follow along at home.
Open with EnglishMadani Qaida / Qaida Usmani
Lessons in the Madinah (Uthmani) script these Qaidas use. If your child has already started one at a masjid, the teacher can carry on so nothing is lost.
Open in Madinah script
Reading the Quran with Tajweed
Once the Qaida is done, children move on to the Mushaf itself.
The Mushaf (Indo-Pak or Uthmani script)
We use the script your child will see at home or at the masjid, usually the 13/15/16-line Indo-Pak style or the Madinah (Uthmani) Mushaf.
Colour-coded Tajweed Quran
Rules like ghunnah and madd are shown in colour on the page, so children spot them while they read.
Short surahs (Juz Amma)
The bridge from Qaida to Quran, and the surahs children need for salah.
Memorisation (Hifz)
45-minute classes for children who read fluently and want to memorise.
One fixed Mushaf
Hifz is done from one copy only, so the page layout stays in the child's memory.
