Signs your child is making real progress in Quran

Published 26 September 2026 · Rahber Institute teaching team

In short

Real progress shows as smoother reading, fewer repeated mistakes and more confidence — not just moving pages. Ask the teacher for regular updates.

  • Fluency and accuracy matter more than speed.
  • Listen to your child read once a week.
  • Ask the teacher what to practise at home.

Good signs to look for

  • Joins letters without long pauses
  • Corrects their own mistakes
  • Remembers last week's lesson
  • Reads to you willingly
  • Hifz students revise old surahs without many errors

Warning signs

  • Same mistakes week after week
  • Refuses to read aloud
  • Rushes through pages without accuracy

What to ask the teacher

Ask what your child does well, what one thing to practise at home, and what the next milestone is.
