Short answer
Practise Quran reading for 15–20 minutes a day: spend the first few minutes revising what you read yesterday, then read a small new portion aloud slowly, then listen to a reciter reading the same passage. Once a week, read to a teacher for correction.

Pick a fixed time
Attach practice to something that already happens — after Fajr, after school or after Maghrib.
Use one mushaf
Reading from the same printed layout helps visual memory, especially if you later start Hifz.
Track it
- Note the page and date each day
- Mark mistakes lightly in pencil

Frequently asked questions
Is it better to read a lot once a week or a little daily?
A little daily. Short, consistent sessions improve fluency and retention far more.
Which mushaf should I use?
Use whichever script your teacher uses — many UK families use the Indo-Pak script; others use the Uthmani (Madani) script.
