How can parents support their child's Quran learning?

Last updated 25 September 2026 · Rahber Institute teaching team

Short answer

Parents support Quran learning by fixing a regular lesson and practice time, providing a quiet space, listening to their child read for a few minutes each day, praising effort, and staying in regular contact with the teacher about progress. You don't need to read fluently yourself to help.

Simple things parents can do
ActionTime needed
Set up a quiet space with the device ready5 minutes before class
Listen to daily practice10 minutes a day
Ask the teacher for a progress updateOnce a fortnight
Celebrate milestonesWhenever one is reached

If you can't read Quran yourself

You can still listen, encourage and keep the routine. Many parents learn alongside their children in separate adult lessons.

Talk to the teacher

Ask what your child is working on this week and what to listen for at home.
