By Mrs. Fadia Ali, Quran Studies Teacher
Al-Salamu Alikum Dear Parents, I pray that you all are well Insha’Allah. Here is a summary of your children’s Qur’an work during the previous month.
Primary Level One: (Children ages 4 and 5 who joined Quran Studies for the first time this year). Primary Level Two: (Children age 5 and older). In these two Primary levels, we usually focus on the correct phonetics (Makharage) مَخارِج and pronunciation of Arabic letters and words, and on the correct memorization of several small Surahs and Duaa’s. (All Duaa’s are from the Noble Qur’an).
Level One: Practiced surah Al Kauthar الكوثر, and Surah Al Fatiha الفاتحة, they also practiced Duaas prophet Muses (as).
Level Two: Practiced Surah Al filالفيل and Surah Quryish قريش.
Elementary Group One & Two (Level One Qur’an). Elementary Group Three (Level Two A – Qur’an: Students who finished learning the reading grammars last year). Elementary Group Four (Level Two B -Qur’an). Our main focus at Level Two (Groups Three & Four) is on improving student’s recitation of the Noble Quran. Elementary Groups Five & Six (Level Three Qur’an). Our focus at Level Three (Groups Five & Six) is on reading, on Qur’an vocabulary memorization, and on writing; our goal is to help children learn the most efficient way of Arabic writing, and to help them develop a sense of direction of their Arabic writing (which is the opposite of English writing), and develop a sense of the right size and shape of Arabic written words.
Groups One & Two: Students are still practicing the small Arabic letters (the connected form of Arabic letters), and the three main vowels (Fatteha, Kasra, and Dhammah). They also learned the Tanween vowels.
Group Three: Students continued reading the last 4 Juzah of the Nobel Quran and they are now at Surah Al Tur الطور(reading without repetition).
Group Four: Students continued reading the first half of the Nobel Quran and they are now half way through Surah Al Baqharah البَقَرة سورة (reading without repetition). Students also started writing Arabic words and learning basic Arabic writing rules.
Groups Five & Six: Students continued reading the first half of the Nobel Quran, and they are now at the end of Surah Al Baqharah البَقَرة سورة and some have started Surah Al Imran آل عمران (reading without repetition). Students have also worked on improving writing, reading, and memorization of Quran vocabulary: animals 1 & 2 in the Quran.
